xmake-toolchains

xmake-toolchains is a skill for Claude Code from xmake-io/xmake-skills. It costs 42 tokens per session (1,204 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for choosing and configuring toolchains in xmake. A toolchain is the collection of programs that compile, link, and package code, such as GCC, Clang, MSVC, MinGW, or an embedded compiler.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to list available toolchains, select a compiler, set an SDK or compiler directory, or define a custom toolchain. It applies to native builds and cross-compilation.
Why use it?
It makes switching compilers and pointing them at the right SDK or binary directory more predictable. It also explains how to use built-in toolchains for targets such as WebAssembly, Android, iOS, and embedded systems.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

xmake-toolchains scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Xmake Toolchains

A toolchain bundles a compiler, linker, archiver, and related tools. You pick one per configure.

Listing and switching

xmake show -l toolchains             # list available toolchains (~77 of them)
xmake f --toolchain=clang
xmake f --toolchain=gcc-11           # gcc-12 .. gcc-16 exist as well
xmake f --toolchain=mingw --mingw=/opt/llvm-mingw
xmake f --toolchain=msvc --vs=2022

Notable ones beyond the usual gcc/clang/msvc:

Toolchain For
zigcc C/C++ through zig cc, a cross compiler with no sysroot — @see the xmake-zigcc skill
zig Zig code
muslcc musl-based cross toolchains, downloaded on demand
emcc / wasi WebAssembly (emscripten / WASI)
cosmocc build-once run-anywhere binaries
dotnet C# and the .NET SDK
cuda nvcc / nvc / nvc++ / nvfortran
filc a memory-safe C/C++ implementation
ascendc Huawei Ascend C (bisheng driver)
armclang / iar / sdcc embedded compilers

Pointing at an sdk

xmake f --toolchain=clang --sdk=/opt/llvm-18            # the sdk root
xmake f --toolchain=gcc --bin=/opt/gcc/bin              # only the bin directory
xmake f --toolchain=clang --cc=clang-18 --cxx=clang++-18  # individual tools

--sdk is the standard knob: xmake derives bin/, include/ and lib/ from it.

In xmake.lua:

set_toolchains("clang")

target("app")
    set_toolchains("gcc-11")          -- override per target

Cross-compilation

Android

xmake f -p android --ndk=~/android-ndk-r26 -a arm64-v8a
xmake

Arch options: armeabi-v7a, arm64-v8a, x86, x86_64.

iOS / macOS

xmake f -p iphoneos -a arm64
xmake f -p macosx -a arm64        # Apple Silicon

Windows from Linux (mingw)

xmake f -p mingw --mingw=/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32 -a x86_64

WebAssembly

xmake f -p wasm --toolchain=emcc

Generic cross-gcc

xmake f -p cross --sdk=/opt/my-sdk --cross=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -a arm

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
