## XT Toolchain
This is a LLVM/Clang/LLD based toolchain. It currently supports C and C++, and provides
a variety of tools including IDL, message and resource compilers. The XT Toolchain is also the
official build environment for compiling XT software, including the XT OS. Currently, it is
targeted at Linux and Windows host systems.
The XT Toolchain is a build environment based on LLVM/Clang/LLD. It currently supports C and C++, and includes
a variety of auxiliary tools such as IDL, message, and resource compilers. The XT Toolchain is the official
build system for compiling XT software, including the XT OS. It is currently available for Linux and Windows
host systems.
Benefits of a LLVM based toolchain are:
* Single toolchain targeting all architectures (i686, x86_64, armv7 and aarch64),
* Support for generating debug info in PDB format,
* Support for targeting ARM/AARCH64 architectures and ability to produce Windows ARM binaries.
Key Benefits of using an LLVM-based Toolchain:
* Unified toolchain for multiple target architectures: i686, x86_64, armv7, and aarch64
* Support for generating debug information in PDB format
* Ability to target ARM/AArch64 architectures and produce ARM binaries
This software includes:
This toolchain includes the following software:
* CMake
* LLVM
* Ninja
* Wine
This software is based on [LLVM MinGW Toolchain](https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw).
**Note:** This toolchain is based on the [LLVM MinGW Toolchain](https://github.com/mstorsjo/llvm-mingw).
## Licensing
The XTchain project includes the scripts for building and assembling a toolchain as well as wrappers
for LLVM tools and environmental shell. These are licensed under the GPLv3 license. It covers only
mentioned components that are provided by XTchain directly. For more information on that, refer to
the COPYING.md file. The final pre-built toolchain is covered by the licenses of the individual,
external projects. The full list of software incorporated into this toolchain is available in the
README.md file.
