| - | On SliTaz you have 2 way to rebuild a toolchain from scratch: Cookutils and Tazwok. Tazwok is historicaly the first packages builder for SliTaz and by the time have evolved into a powerfull tool that can rebuild the full system from scratch.

| - | Cookutils are the new tools, written from scratch before and for SliTaz 4.0. The build tools needed an huge improvement since they was wrote when SliTaz had 400-500 packages, when Cookutils was started SliTaz had 2960 packages, so the way to handle all these packages is more complex than at the begining of the project. Also the Cookutils have been wote with simplicity and speed in mind and are use on the official SliTaz build host aka Tank. | + | Cookutils are the new tools, written from scratch as before and for SliTaz 4.0.

| - | To rebuild the official toolchain with Cookutils you must use the package slitaz-toolchain. This package is used to install the toolchain in a development environment and to build the Toolchain in the correct order and with 2 pass for binutils and GCC. You will find some info in the slitaz-toolchain receipt it self and after building we keep a note in /usr/share/doc/slitaz/toolchain.txt | + | To rebuild the official toolchain with Cookutils you must use the package slitaz-toolchain.
