A library for amiga specific gcc develp.
|
|
.description
|
|
This is libnix, a static (i.e. link) library for gcc 2.3.3 or above.
|
|
It's not a replacement for ixemul.library (though it's possible to
|
|
recompile most of the gcc environment with libnix) but a good thing
|
|
for amiga specific development on gcc:
|
|
|
|
* It's mostly compatible to SAS's way of handling things, i.e.
|
|
you get even an automatic shared library opening feature and
|
|
some other things you may miss in ixemul.library.
|
|
This also means it's ANSI compliant.
|
|
|
|
* It doesn't need any shared libraries than normal Amiga OS ones.
|
|
|
|
* It is not copyrighted by the FSF. Therefore you neither need
|
|
to include sources nor objects together with your executable.
|
|
(read the GLGPL _before_ flaming on this statement)
|
|
|
|
* And it's short! I was able to compile a 492 byte 'hello, world'
|
|
using normal main.
|
|
|
|
* It uses OS20 features whenever necessary.
|
|
|
|
To cut it short:
|
|
|
|
Use ixemul.library for porting Un*x programs, libnix for compiling
|
|
amiga-only programs and gcc becomes one of the best Amiga compilers.
