交叉编译 cross-compiling - sysroot作用

sysroot，是交叉编译时，用来定位头文件和库文件的位置的。

 

A sysroot is a directory which is considered to be the root directory for the purpose of locating headers and libraries.

So for example if your build toolchain wants to find /usr/include/adb.h but you are cross-compiling and the appropriate foo.h is in /sam/picnic/place/usr/include/adb.h, you would use /sam/picnic/place as your sysroot.
