Amiga GCC  readme.txt                   01-23 1991

This version of GCC is built on top of PDC's libraries and includes. PDC is a
freely distributable Amiga C Compiler by Lionel Hummel and Paul Petersen
(availiable at a.cs.uiuc.edu in the /pub/amiga directory).

To use this version of GCC, you will need the file "gcc-910123.lzh" which
contains the executables for the compiler, GCC (the front-end program, a
modified version of the CCX distributed with PDC) and SObjA (our object file
converter).

GCC compiles into MIT-syntax 680x0 assembly, and GAS assembles that into a
Un*x (actually Sun) format object file.  The object file converter, SObjA,
translates that object file into an Amiga object file, which you can then
link with the the libraries and amiga.lib (and any other standard Amiga
library).  Eventually, there should be a version of GNU ld (the Un*x linker)
that can read and write Amiga object files, eliminating the need for an
object file converter.

GCC is a rather large compiler by Amiga standards - you will need at least
1.5 Megs to do anything useful.  3 Megs will probably be enough for some big
applications - it was just enough to compile cc1 (the half-meg single-pass
compiler) with optimization.
