Terminology

Throughout this document, the term host system refers to the system on which you run Sourcery G++ Lite while the term target system refers to the system on which the code produced by Sourcery G++ Lite runs. The target system for this version of Sourcery G++ Lite is "arm-none-symbianelf".

If you are developing a workstation or server application to run on the same system that you are using to run Sourcery G++ Lite, then the host and target systems are the same. On the other hand, if you are developing an application for an embedded system, then the host and target systems are probably different.
