Setting up the environment for the invocation commands

If you used the install utility to install the compiler or if you selected to create the symbolic links during the configuration, you have already set up the environment for the invocation commands. Do not perform the procedures in this section.

If you did not select to create the symbolic links when you configured the compiler and want to invoke the compiler without having to specify the full path, you must perform one of the following tasks:
  • Set the PATH environment variable.
  • Create symbolic links to the compiler invocation commands.
