Collection of programming tools produced by the GNU Project
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),
Sony PlayStation Portable (used by
PSP modding scene)
[1] and
Sony PlayStation 3.
