GCC Cross Compiler Toolchain Build Script

This repository contains the script needed to compile bare metal GCC for various architectures using Linux distributions. The GCC source is fetched from the master branch hence, contains all the bleeding edge changes.

Before we start

Below are the packages you'll need

• Ubuntu or other Debian based distros

  To install and set GCC 10 as the default compiler, you need to:

  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y && sudo apt-get update
  

  sudo apt-get install flex bison ncurses-dev texinfo gcc gperf patch libtool automake g++ libncurses5-dev gawk subversion expat libexpat1-dev python-all-dev binutils-dev bc libcap-dev autoconf libgmp-dev build-essential pkg-config libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev autopoint gettext txt2man liblzma-dev libssl-dev libz-dev mercurial wget tar gcc-10 g++-10 zstd --fix-broken --fix-missing
  

• Arch Linux

  sudo pacman -S base-devel clang cmake git libc++ lld lldb ninja
  

• Fedora

  sudo dnf groupinstall "Development tools"
  sudo dnf install mpfr-devel gmp-devel libmpc-devel zlib-devel glibc-devel.i686 glibc-devel binutils-devel g++ texinfo bison flex cmake which clang ninja-build lld bzip2
  

Usage

Running this script is quite simple. We start by cloning this repository:

git clone https://github.com/mvaisakh/gcc-build.git gcc-build

./build-gcc.sh -a <architechture>

As of now, I only support arm, arm64 and x86 (compiles for x86_64 only). This list is subject to change as I receive requests.

Keep in mind that this script contains just the bare minimum prerequisites.

Looking for precompiled toolchains?

My GCC Cross Compiler builds are automated and pushed biweekly i.e. on Sundays & Thursdays at 00:00 GMT+5:30 (IST). They are pushed to:

• ARM64
• ARM32
• X86_64 (Not built on cron anymore)
