|
Hi all,
I am new to Gentoo.
I recently installed one from stage3.
In documents I read, I often saw the "toolchain" term but I never found any explanation.
I understood it is linked to compilation.
Can someone explain me what is the toolchain ?
Thanks

| It's the parts of the system you need to compile the rest. gcc, etc. |

The toolchain is the compiler, assembler, linker and other utilities used to build binaries (programs/libraries) from source code. In Gentoo it consists of the 'gcc' and 'binutils' packages.

These are the toolchain packages on a x86 Gentoo box. They are the required packages for building a working system | Code: | sys-devel/gcc-4.1.2
sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1
sys-devel/gnuconfig-20080123
sys-devel/gcc-config-1.4.0-r4
sys-devel/autoconf-2.61-r2
sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-5
sys-devel/automake-1.10.1-r1
sys-devel/automake-wrapper-3-r1
sys-devel/binutils-config-1.9-r4
sys-devel/binutils-2.18-r3
sys-devel/flex-2.5.35
sys-devel/patch-2.5.9
sys-devel/m4-1.4.11
sys-devel/make-3.81
sys-devel/bison-2.3

So, it's the barebone of your system.
If you change your Cflags one day, be sure to run this :
| Code: |
# emerge -e system && emerge -e world
|

Thanks for these info.
According what I understood, the aim of a gentoo stage 1 installation is to build your own toolchain.
Am I right ? |

| Yes, plus a few of the system packages that are required to pull in and emerge the rest of the system. A stage3 does the same thing in one step instead of in the 2 steps a stage1 requires. |

I imagine you can begin with a stage 3 install, define your USE variable, and then re-emerge the whole system to reach the same point as an initial stage1 install ?
Or is a stage3 install definitive: you can not rebuild your toolchain ? |

In fact, on my box, I use a Stage 3 from funtoo.org, and after that, I change my Cflags and my Use Flags, I add the fr_CA support and I remove the en_Us language.
And I do this to recompile my box for my Quad Core :
| Code: |
# emerge -e system && emerge -e system
|
After that, I can install X.ORG, and Kde etc.... and everything will be in French if there is a french package for that software. |

The Stage3 is a precompiled package for the American people and you can always rebuild your toolchain with the emerge -e system command. |

Ok, merci 
And final question.
I hope I am not waking up a troll...
It seems there is a problem with Hardened Gentoo and the toolchain ?
Thx |
