GNU Tools for macOS/Linux

This repository builds most used GNU tools for macOS and Linux from scratch without requiring any dependencies
Optionally, it can be used to compile static libraries of commonly used GNU packages and create development SDK's for various architectures like Linux, macOS, iOS (x86_64 and ios64), Android (arm64-v8a) and Windows (mingw-64)
No additional dependency required except Xcode Command Line Tools for macOS and compiler suites for respective platforms
All build tools are compiled from scratch with native macOS clang and *nix gcc

Available Tools

autoconf
automake
libtool    (prefixed with 'g')
pkg-config
cmake
gmp        (only as static library)
mpfr       (only as static library)
mpc        (only as static library)
isl        (only as static library)
gcc        (suffixed with '-gnu')

Available Packages

zlib           (compression)
openssl        (ssl)
curl           (http client)
libuuid        (unique ids)
libmicrohttpd  (http server)
libhttpserver  (http server)
prometheus-cpp (monitoring)
secp256k1      (ecc)

Build instructions

# run once to install Xcode CLI tools for macOS
$ xcode-select --install

# clone and build tools for native platform
$ git clone https://github.com/kozyilmaz/tools.git
$ cd tools
$ source environment
$ make

# compile packages for a specific arch
$ source environment [optional: ios-arm64, ios-sim, android-arm64-v8a, android-armeabi-v7a, android-x86_64, mingw-w64]
$ make packages-build

Fine Tuning and Debugging

# console logs will be enabled via PRINT_DEBUG
$ cd tools
$ source environment
$ PRINT_DEBUG=y make all

# environment file can be edited to increase/decrease parallel jobs (default autodetect)
BSPJOB=4

# environment file can be edited to select/unselect tools:
export TOOLS_ENABLE_ESSENTIALS=y
export TOOLS_ENABLE_CMAKE=y
export TOOLS_ENABLE_GCC=y
