- TinyCC
- ======
-
- This file contains some additional information for usage of TinyCC
- under MS-Windows:
-
-
- Overview:
- ---------
- TinyCC (aka TCC) is a small but hyperfast C compiler, written by
- Fabrice Bellard.
-
- TinyCC for MS-Windows can produce console applications, native
- windows GUI programs and DLL's.
-
- The package with under 300kb includes a complete C-compiler with
- header files and basic system library support.
-
- With the -run switch you can run C-sources without any linking
- directly from the command line.
-
- TinyCC can be used as dynamic code generator library in your own
- program.
-
- TinyCC can of course compile itself.
-
-
- Compilation: (omit that if you use the binary ZIP package)
- ------------
- You can use the MinGW and MSYS tools available at
- http://www.mingw.org to compile TCC for Windows. Untar the TCC
- archive and type in the MSYS shell:
-
- ./configure
- make
- make install
-
- TCC is installed in c:\Program Files\tcc
-
- Alternatively you can use win32\build-tcc.bat to compile TCC
- with just gcc and ar from MINGW. To install, copy the entire
- contents of the win32 directory to where you want.
-
-
- Installation: (from the binary ZIP package)
- -------------
- Just unzip the package to a directory anywhere on your computer.
-
- The binary package does not include libtcc. If you want tcc as
- dynamic code generator, please use the source code distribution.
-
-
- Examples:
- ---------
- For the 'Fibonacci' console example type from the command line:
-
- tcc examples\fib.c
-
- For the 'Hello Windows' GUI example:
-
- tcc examples\hello_win.c
-
- For the 'Hello DLL' example:
-
- tcc -shared examples\dll.c
- tcc examples\hello_dll.c examples\dll.def
-
-
- Import Definition Files:
- ------------------------
- To link with Windows system DLLs, TinyCC uses import definition
- files (.def) instead of libraries.
-
- The included 'tiny_impdef' program may be used to make additional
- .def files for any DLL. For example:
-
- tiny_impdef.exe opengl32.dll
-
- To use it, put the opengl32.def file into the tcc/lib directory,
- and specify -lopengl32 at the tcc commandline.
-
-
- Resource Files:
- ---------------
- TinyCC-PE can now link windows resources in coff format as generated
- by MINGW's windres.exe. For example:
-
- windres -O coff app.rc -o appres.o
- tcc app.c appres.o -o app.exe
-
-
- Tiny Libmaker:
- --------------
- The included tiny_libmaker tool by Timovj Lahde can be used as
- 'ar' replacement to make a library from several object files.
-
-
- Header Files:
- -------------
- The system header files (except _mingw.h) are from the mingw
- distribution (http://www.mingw.org/).
-
-
- Documentation and License:
- --------------------------
- TCC is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License
- (see COPYING file).
-
- Please read tcc-doc.html to have all the features of TCC. Also
- visit: http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/

+
+ TinyCC
+ ======
+
+ This file contains specific information for usage of TinyCC
+ under MS-Windows. See tcc-doc.html to have all the features.
+
+
+
+ Compilation from source:
+ ------------------------
+ * You can use the MinGW and MSYS tools available at
+
+ http://www.mingw.org
+
+ Untar the TCC archive and type in the MSYS shell:
+
+ ./configure
+ make
+ make install
+
+ The default install location is c:\Program Files\tcc
+
+
+ * Alternatively you can compile TCC with just GCC from MinGW using
+
+ win32\build-tcc.bat
+
+ To install, copy the entire contents of the win32 directory to
+ where you want.
+
+
+
+ Installation from the binary ZIP package:
+ -----------------------------------------
+ Unzip the package to a directory of your choice.
+
+ (Note that the binary package does not include libtcc. If you
+ want TCC as dynamic code generator, please use the source code
+ distribution.)
+
+
+
+ Set the system PATH:
+ --------------------
+ To be able to invoke the compiler from everywhere on your computer by
+ just typing "tcc", please add the directory containing tcc.exe to your
+ system PATH.
+
+
+
+ Examples:
+ ---------
+ Open a console window (DOS box) and 'cd' to the examples directory.
+
+ For the 'Fibonacci' example type:
+
+ tcc fib.c
+
+ For the 'Hello Windows' GUI example type:
+
+ tcc hello_win.c
+
+ for the 'Hello DLL' example type
+
+ tcc -shared dll.c
+ tiny_impdef dll.dll (optional)
+ tcc hello_dll.c dll.def
+
+
+
+ Import Definition Files:
+ ------------------------
+ To link with Windows system DLLs, TCC uses import definition
+ files (.def) instead of libraries.
+
+ The included 'tiny_impdef' program may be used to make additional
+ .def files for any DLL. For example:
+
+ tiny_impdef.exe opengl32.dll
+
+ Put opengl32.def into the tcc/lib directory. Specify -lopengl32 at
+ the TCC commandline to link a program that uses opengl32.dll.
+
+
+
+ Header Files:
+ -------------
+ The system header files (except _mingw.h) are from the MinGW
+ distribution:
+
+ http://www.mingw.org/
+
+ From the windows headers, only a minimal set is included. If you need
+ more, get MinGW's "w32api" package.
+
+
+
+ Resource Files:
+ ---------------
+ TCC can link windows resources in coff format as generated by MinGW's
+ windres.exe. For example:
+
+ windres -O coff app.rc -o appres.o
+ tcc app.c appres.o -o app.exe
+
+
+
+ Tiny Libmaker:
+ --------------
+ The included tiny_libmaker tool by Timovj Lahde can be used as
+ 'ar' replacement to make a library from several object files:
+
+ tiny_libmaker [rcs] library objectfiles ...
+
+
+
+ Limitations:
+ ------------
+ - On the object file level, currently TCC supports only the ELF format,
+ not COFF as used by MinGW and MSVC. It is not possible to exchange
+ object files or libraries between TCC and these compilers. However
+ libraries for TCC from objects by TCC can be made using tiny_libmaker
+ or MinGW's ar.
+
+ - No leading underscore is generated in the ELF symbols.
+
+ - With DLLs, only functions (not data) can be im-/exported.
+
+ - Bounds checking (option -b) is not supported currently.
+
+ - 64-bit systems are not (yet) supported.
+
+
+
+ Documentation and License:
+ --------------------------
+ TCC is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License. (See
+ COPYING file or http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html)
+
+ TinyCC homepage is at:

+
+
+
+ WinAPI Help and 3rd-party tools:
+ --------------------------------
+ The Windows API documentation (Win95) in a single .hlp file is
+ available on the lcc-win32 site as "win32hlp.exe" or from other
+ locations as "win32hlp_big.zip".
+
+ A nice RAD tool to create windows resources (dialog boxes etc.) is
+ "ResEd", available at the RadASM website.
