- ===============================================================================
-
- Welcome to emx, a common environment for creating 32-bit programs for OS/2 2.0
- and MS-DOS. You can use the GNU C compiler to compile programs for emx.
-
- Included in the emx package are:
-
- - emx.dll dynamic link library for OS/2 2.0
-
- - emx.exe DOS extender for running 32-bit programs under MS-DOS
-
- - emxbind.exe for creating .exe files which work both under OS/2 2.0 and
- MS-DOS
-
- - C header files and a nearly complete C library, including source
-
- Additionally, the following GNU programs are available compiled and with
- sources (note that these files are not part of emx):
-
- - gcc, the GNU C compiler
-
- - gas, the GNU assembler
-
- - gdb, the GNU debugger
-
- - ld, the GNU linker
-
- - ar, nm, size, strip, objdump: some GNU utilities for dealing with binary
- files
-
- - Patched source for gcc, gas, gdb, ld, ar, nm, size, strip, objdump. You can
- compile all these programs with the files that come with emx (but you also
- need a make utility, such as NMAKE)
-
- - Patches for the GNU sources
-
- Documentation for the GNU programs is not included. Documentation is
- usually included in the original GNU sources, available from prep.mit.edu
- and other archives.
-
-
- emx is packaged in the following files:
-
- emxdev.zip Development system (w/o compiler)
- emxlib.zip C library source
- emxtest.zip Test programs (used for testing emx and the library)
-
- Compiled GNU programs, sources and patches:
-
- gnudev.zip GNU development tools compiled for emx
- gnusrc1.zip Patched GNU sources (ld, ar, nm, size, strip, objdump, termcap)
- gnusrc2.zip Patched GNU sources (gas 1.37)
- gnusrc3.zip Patched GNU sources (gcc 1.40)
- gnusrc4.zip Patched GNU sources (gdb 3.5)
- gnupat.zip Patches for GNU sources
