GCC (Native Compiler for On-Device Compilation)⚓︎

• Package: master/make/pkgs/gcc-toolchain/
• Steward: Ircama
  This package provides a complete GCC toolchain for on-device compilation, enabling software development directly on the router/device.

Features⚓︎

• GCC compiler (gcc, g++, cpp)
• Complete cross-compilation toolchain
• Support for C and C++ development
• Integration with uClibc runtime

Components⚓︎

• gcc: GNU C Compiler
• g++: GNU C++ Compiler
• cpp: C Preprocessor
• libgcc: GCC runtime library
• libstdc++: C++ Standard Library

Usage⚓︎

After installation, you can compile C/C++ programs directly on the device:

# Compile a C program
gcc -o hello hello.c

# Compile a C++ program
g++ -o hello hello.cpp

Notes⚓︎

• Required for building Python extensions and other compiled packages on-device
• Uses serial compilation (-j1) during toolchain build to prevent race conditions
