- INSTALLATION
-
- To install GCC, just copy the contents of the Tools and Scripts folders into
- your usual MPW folders.
-
- CHANGING THE SHELL
-
- The MPW partition size will need to be rather large; 3000K seems to be enough usually.
-
- Also, the MPW stack MUST BE INCREASED to 128K. This is done by editing the HEXA
- resource of the shell to be "0002 0000" (it's normally "0000 0000"). If you neglect
- this, GCC will most likely overflow the stack and crash your Mac in some mysterious
- way.
-
- (This is because GCC makes heavy use of a "true alloca" that does temporary
- allocation on the stack; which is very efficient but sometimes uses huge amounts
- of stack space. We haven't yet encountered any program that needed more than 128K
- of stack, but "your mileage may vary". Note that this is not a problem for GCC
- compiled by MPW C, which uses a "fake alloca" based on malloc.)
-
- INSTALLING THE DOCUMENTATION
-
- The help files GCC.Help may be appended to MPW.Help, or else accessed using the
- -f option to help. There is a Commando interface as well.
-
- The Documents folder contains the long manuals for CCCP and GCC.
-
- CCCP and GCC each have their own manuals which are in TeX format (files
- cpp.texinfo and gcc.texinfo in the Documents folder).
- Both the commercial Mac application Textures and the shareware program
- OzTeX can format and print the manuals, as long as the TeX macro file texinfo.tex
- (also in Documents) is available. TeX is also available on many other machines.
-
- If you don't have TeX, the TeX input text is readable, if somewhat ugly.
