crosstool-NG

crosstool-NG is all about building toolchains. Now, you might wonder, what's a toolchain? Well, it's basically a group of programs that are super important for any software development project.

What Does crosstool-NG Do?

With crosstool-NG, you can compile, assemble, and link the code you're working on. Some parts of these toolchains will actually end up in the final product; think of static libraries as just one example.

The Importance of Toolchains

A toolchain is pretty sensitive software. If there's a bug in one part or if something is configured wrong, it can really mess things up. This could lead to anything from slow performance to software that acts all weird—often without any clear signs!

The Complexity Factor

Toolchains consist of various software pieces, and each one is complex. They need specific options to build and work well together. It's not always straightforward—even for native toolchains! And when we talk about cross-compilation, well, that can be a real headache.

Focus on Building Toolchains

The cool thing about crosstool-NG? It's designed just for building toolchains! Once you have it set up, it's totally up to you how you want to use it.

Tweaking Your Build Steps

If you're curious about how each piece gets configured and built, crosstool-NG lets you dive deep into that! You can tweak the build steps exactly how you need them.

Create Your Specific Toolchains
