GNU toolchain
The GNU toolchain is a broad collection of programming tools produced by the GNU Project. These tools form a toolchain (a suite of tools used in a serial manner) used for developing software applications and operating systems.
The GNU toolchain plays a vital role in development of Linux, some BSD systems, and software for embedded systems. Parts of the GNU toolchain are also directly used with or ported to other platforms such as Solaris, macOS, Microsoft Windows (via Cygwin and MinGW/MSYS) and Sony PlayStation 3.[1]
Components
Projects included in the GNU toolchain are:
- GNU make: an automation tool for compilation and build
- GNU Compiler Collection (GCC): a suite of compilers for several programming languages
- GNU C Library (glibc): core C library including headers, libraries, and dynamic loader
- GNU Binutils: a suite of tools including linker, assembler and other tools
- GNU Bison: a parser generator, often used with the Flex lexical analyser
- GNU m4: an m4 macro processor
- GNU Debugger (GDB): a code debugging tool
- GNU build system (autotools): Autoconf, Automake and Libtool
gollark: Did you know? Birds control time. They do this out of spite.
gollark: Did you know? Lisp causes tabs.
gollark: Wow, I've hit 45 tabs again.
gollark: I just make it turn off my computer's webcam, so that the universe isn't observed and thus no longer exists. phyzic.
gollark: And if you're root you can already do *basically* anything else anyway.
