You start with, say, a Linux system. Put the sources there and use the Linux compiler - gcc to compile the sources. You should start with the compiler suite itself, (some) standard libraries, the linker, etc.. This is what hicksd8 means by "toolchain". Now you have a SysV-C-compiler that is compiled fo Linux. This is called "seeding", because ideally a compiler should be able to compile its own sources. That is: when you write a C-compiler in C you write it, then take another C-compiler and compile it, take that executable and use it to compile it again the original sources, then use that executable to compile it again. You then have a code that is compiled by the executable resulting from the very code its source has produced. From then on you use (the compiled) version X-1 to compile version X, etc.. Here you do basically the same for the whole OS.

Of course you build from scratch. You start with the sources for the OS and you want to have a compiled, running and installed OS. That is as much "from scratch" as it can get.

I hope this helps.

xft-config

xft-config(1)						      General Commands Manual						     xft-config(1)

NAME

       xft-config - report Xft version, compiler, linker, and/or installation directory information

SYNOPSIS

       xft-config { --exec-prefix[=local_prefix] | --prefix[=local_prefix] | --cflags | --libs } ...

       xft-config --version

DESCRIPTION

       xft-config  reports information of interest to users and developers about the installed version of the X FreeType library, Xft(3).  Depend-
       ing on how it is invoked, xft-config reports the installed version of Xft, the compiler and linker flags that are required to  successfully
       compile	and  link  C  (or C-compatible) code that uses the library, and/or the directories used by the GNU Autotools to install its files.
       Note that if the system's installed version of Xft came from an OS vendor or other third party, the actual location of its files may differ
       from those reported by xft-config.  The system adminstrator can also relocate Xft's files.

       If invoked without any arguments, xft-config will print a usage message on standard error and exit.

OPTIONS

       --cflags
	      Report the compiler flags that are required to compile code that uses Xft symbols.

       --exec-prefix[=local_prefix]
	      If  specified  without the parameter local_prefix, report the file specification prefix that Xft uses for installation of executable
	      files.  If local_prefix is specified, it is used instead of the file specification prefix used for installation of executable  files
	      by  Xft  and  the  value	of  the  option argument specified with --prefix, if any, when compile and linker flags are reported (with
	      --cflags and --libs, respectively).

       --libs Report the linker flags that are required to link code that uses Xft symbols.

       --prefix[=local_prefix]
	      If specified without the parameter local_prefix, report the file specification prefix that Xft uses for installation of  files.	If
	      local_prefix  is	specified,  it is used instead of the file specification prefix used for installation of files by Xft when compile
	      and linker flags are reported (with --cflags and --libs, respectively); also see --exec-prefix.

       --version
	      Report the version of the Xft library installed on the system and exit.

OPERANDS

       xft-config does not recognize any non-option arguments.	At least one option must be specified.

EXIT STATUS

       0      Information was successfully reported.

       1      xft-config was invoked with invalid arguments, or no arguments at all.

AUTHOR

       xft-config was written by Keith Packard.  This manual page was written by Branden Robinson.
