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
Solaris, macOS, Microsoft Windows (via Cygwin and MinGW/MSYS/WSL2), Sony PlayStation Portable (used by PSP modding scene)[1] and Sony PlayStation 3.[2]
Components
Projects in the GNU toolchain are:
- GNU Autotools (build system) – Software build toolset from GNU
- GNU Binutils – GNU software development tools for executable code
- GNU Bison – Yacc-compatible parser generator program
- GNU C Library– GNU implementation of the standard C library
- GNU Compiler Collection – Free and open-source compiler for various programming languages
- GNU Debugger – Source-level debugger
- GNU m4 – General-purpose macro processor
- GNU make – Software build automation tool
