-# Prerequisites and Directory Setup
-
-This section deals with the packages we need on our system to cross bootstrap
-our mini distro, as well as the basic directory setup before we get started.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-For compiling the packages you will need:
-
-* gcc
-* g++
-* make
-* flex
-* bison
-* gperf
-* makeinfo
-* ncurses (with headers)
-* awk
-* automake
-* help2man
-* curl
-* pkg-config
-* libtool
-* openssl (with headers)
-
-
-In case you wonder: even if you don't build any C++ package, you need the C++
-compiler to build GCC. The GCC code base mainly uses C99, but with some
-additional C++ features. `makeinfo` is used by the GNU utilities that generate
-info pages from texinfo. ncurses is mainly needed by the kernel build system
-for `menuconfig`. OpenSSL is also requried to compile the kernel later on.
-
-The list should be fairly complete, but I can't guarantee that I didn't miss
-something. Normally I work on systems with tons of development tools and
-libraries already installed, so if something is missing, please install it
-and maybe let me know.
-
-## Directory Setup
-
-First of all, you should create an empty directory somewhere where you want
-to build the cross toolchain and later the entire system.
-
-For convenience, we will store the absolute path to this directory inside a
-shell variable called **BUILDROOT** and create a few directories to organize
-our stuff in:
-
- BUILDROOT=$(pwd)
-
- mkdir -p "build" "src" "download" "toolchain/bin" "sysroot"
-
-I stored the downloaded packages in the **download** directory and extracted
-them to a directory called **src**.
-
-We will later build packages outside the source tree (GCC even requires that
-nowadays), inside a sub directory of **build**.
-
-Our final toolchain will end up in a directory called **toolchain**.
-
-We store the toolchain location inside another shell variable that I called
-**TCDIR** and prepend the executable path of our toolchain to the **PATH**
-variable:
-
- TCDIR="$BUILDROOT/toolchain"
- export PATH="$TCDIR/bin:$PATH"
-
-
-The **sysroot** directory will hold the cross compiled binaries for our target
-system, as well as headers and libraries used for cross compiling stuff. It is
-basically the `/` directory of the system we are going to build. For
-convenience, we will also store its absolute path in a shell variable:
-
- SYSROOT="$BUILDROOT/sysroot"
