7 This is the index of the ``sdk`` directory. | 7 To build Native Client modules, you must download and install the Native |
8 Client Software Development Kit (SDK). | |
8 | 9 |
10 The SDK includes the following: | |
11 | |
12 support for multiple Pepper versions | |
13 The SDK contains **bundles** that let you compile Native Client modules | |
14 using different versions of the | |

Done.
| |
17 :doc:`Release Notes <release-notes>` for a description of the new features | |
18 included in each Pepper version to help you decide which bundle to | |
19 use to develop your application. In general, Native Client modules | |
20 compiled using a particular Pepper version will work in | |
21 corresponding versions of Chrome and higher. For example, a module | |
22 compiled using the Pepper 28 platform will work in Chrome 28 and | |
23 higher. | |
24 | |
25 update utility | |
26 The ``naclsdk`` utility (``naclsdk.bat`` on Windows) lets you download new | |
27 bundles that are available, as well as new versions of existing bundles. | |
28 | |
29 toolchains | |
30 Each platform includes three toolchains---one for Portable Native Client | |
31 (PNaCl) applications, one for compiling architecture-specific Native | |
32 Client applications with newlib, and a third native NaCl toolchain for | |
33 compiling with glibc. Newlib and glibc are two different implementations | |
34 of the C standard library. All toolchains contain Native Client-compatible | |
35 versions of standard compilers, linkers, and other tools. | |
36 See :doc:`this document </nacl-and-pnacl>` to help you choose the | |
37 right toolchain. | |
38 | |
39 examples | |
40 Each example in the SDK includes C or C++ source files and header files | |
41 illustrating how to use NaCl and Pepper, along with a Makefile to build | |
42 the example using each of the toolchains. | |
43 | |
44 Makefiles | |

Yeah, it's part of examples.
| |
45 Makefiles have been kept simple so that they are easy to understand, | |
46 use, and modify. Glance through or run the Makefiles with ``V=1`` | |
47 to determine the commands that are needed to build an application, | |
48 then plug those commands into your own build system if you prefer. | |
49 | |
50 tools | |
51 The SDK includes a number of additional tools, which you can use for | |
52 tasks such as validating Native Client modules and running modules | |
53 from the command line. | |
54 | |
55 To download and install the SDK, follow the instructions on the | |
56 :ref:`Download <download>` page. | |
