Toolchains

This repository stores all the toolchains that contain backend compilers, which allow thrushc to effectively compile to a given architecture. This repository is also used by the thrush package manager (thorium) to download, install, and configure the compiler for proper operation on the hosted system.

This repository contains toolchains with:

• LLVM tools precompiled (v17.0.6)
• Clang precompiled (v17.0.6)

Manual installation

Note

The Thorium package manager is responsible for automatically installing the toolchains on each operating system, using the thorium install command. You can do this manually, but it's not recommended.

Linux

Create 'thrushlang' folder at %HOME% directory:

cd ~ && mkdir -p thrushlang/backends/llvm && cd thrushlang/backends/llvm

Download the latest toolchain release:

• Linux Toolchain x64

Unzip the toolchain:

• Change the 'X' characters to the version you are going to use.

tar -xf thrushlang-toolchain-llvm-linux-x64-vX.X.X.tar.xz

Unzip the tools and executables:

find . -type f -name "*.xz" -execdir xz -d {} \;

~ You can now use thrushc and enable compilation to binaries correctly.

Windows

Create 'thrushlang' folder at %APPDATA% directory:

• Change the '<username>' word with the user name of your Windows profile.

mkdir "C:/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/thrushlang/backends/llvm"

Download the latest toolchain release:

• Windows Toolchain x64

Run the toolchain installer

• Change the 'X' characters to the version you are going to use.

.\thrushlang-toolchain-llvm-windows-x64-vX.X.X.exe

~ You can now use thrushc and enable compilation to binaries correctly.
