GCC & binutils & ?

GCC & binutils & ?

[Dan Premetz]

We use over 10 different compiler sets at work.  One builds on IRIX for
IRIX, another builds on Solaris for Solaris, several are cross-compilers for
embedded systems, etc.  When we build, we pretty much do the same thing
regardless of which compiler we're using:

   1.) We compile source code to object files (gcc, g++)
   2.) We create libs (ar)
   3.) We link everything together to get executables (ld)

I expected that GCC had everything I needed to do the above.  I guess this
is not the case.  What all do I need if I want to do items (1), (2), and
(3)?  I think I'm looking at GCC and binutils, right?  Is there anything
else which would be of interest to someone doing C/C++ software development?

Hi Dan,

there is a lot of INTERESTING stuff ( of course ;o), but gcc and binutils is
sufficient for the tasks you mentioned.

You might need newlib when compiling for embedded systems.
