- 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.
