toolchain: what should be in it.

Post by os64dev »

Hi All,

I am currently building a new tool chain for cygwin and am wondering what you people want in there so i can put it on my website. I am not worried about the numerous downloads :roll: because it is very likely that the city were i live will get a fiber optic network in the coming 6 months meaning a 100 MBit up- and download \:D/ . Anyways back on topic:

cygwin:
- standard gcc/g++ tool chain.
- cross compiler for x86_64-pc-elf. (using latest gcc + binutils)
- bochs
- cvs
- doxygen
- patch/diff

please tell what you also wish to have:

svn instead of cvs :D

Agreed. Can I also suggest that Bochs is compiled with SMP support and has the Vesa BIOS.

Cheers,
Adam

Mmmm,

I though the real diehards got a kick out of rolling their own tools...

Ah, yes. People aways get this wrong. The true die hards are lazy, have done the process 1,200 times before hand, and will at all cost try to get someone else to do it for them. Remember that. :twisted:

I am trying optimized gcc toolchain for amd64 under intel's world.
IMHO, amd64 hardware isn't running at it's full power due to it's software limit.
