Cross Compiling

Hi,

Is there any gcc version (and the related libc) that can compile directly for the st? For "directly for the st", i mean directly for TOS, not for Mint or any other kind of systems.

thanks

Probably not as you would need to rewrite the bindings. But a crosscompiler for Mint should work aswell. Mint offers all OS functions that TOS has. So as long as you limit yourself to ST class GEMDOS, XBIOS and BIOS calls there should be no problem. And you can bang the hw directly if desired as well.

Mostly built for TOS, but still is for mint as well......

Not exactly a cross compiler, but emulators such as Steem are nice for cross development.

You can use your favorite Windows (or Linux) editor concurrently. And you can fast forward Steem for fast compile times on large projects.

humm... the c compilers that run natively on the st are quite uncompatible with the code previously engineered with gcc. obiviously they can be "adapted", but the process needs a lot of patience ....
the only version of gcc that i know able to compile directly for tos is the one that mouse_master posted as link.... the others (the ones i saw) are all for mint... and at this time i haven't got a working mint setup..... brobably because i got a little patience

however thanks for the replies.

Oops, sorry, I missed you were asking for gcc compatibility
