Welcome to compilation heaven.
This is a collection of bootstraps of sorts, to get a minimal toolchain much smaller and simpler than GNU's.
This is targeting Linux and Windows.
The point of this is to have an easy way to set up an environment for building software on niche hardware, where compiling the heavy GNU toolchain is required. Instead of requiring a book and several days of CPU time, you only need a few lines of text and 1 jiffy of CPU time.
Note that this does not implement any of GNU's tools, and as such, it is not a replacement for GNU. Most software will require conversion.
Some notes:
- To start converting a software to be GNU-less, use "make -n > make.txt", and use the output to make either a C or Lua script, which does not use external components.
