title = "Toolchain Upgrade"
author = "Ribbon"
date = "2023-09-12"We are happy to announce that our rustc, GCC and LLVM forks have been updated to a recent version.
While rustc and LLVM had recent versions for a long time, GCC was at version 8.2.0 from 2018.
As GCC is used to build all recipes (software ports) written in C and C++, many improvements will come to Redox programs!
Current Versions
- rustc - 1.74.0-nightly
- GCC - 13.2.0
- GNU Binutils - 2.41
- LLVM - 17.0.0-rc4
Developers
If you are a developer/tester of Redox, we recommend that you download a new build system copy.
You can do that by running the bootstrap.sh script again or running the commands from this page.
Pop OS and Ubuntu are the recommended Linux distributions for development and Podman for others, there's partial support for Arch Linux, FreeBSD, MacOSX and openSUSE, but you could have problems.
