2796.0. "GNU C/GCC for the Amiga anyone?" by KYOA::MIANO (O.K. so who cares about the METS?) Fri Aug 04 1989 16:32

Does anyone have GNU C (GCC) and/or the GNU debugger working
on the Amiga?  If so would could one get a hold of the source/exe's?

2796.1LIMIT::MIANOMad Mike's Mythical MiracleThu Mar 01 1990 00:0315
I would like to ask this question again. But let me modify it.

Is there anyone out there working on GCC for the Amiga?
Is there anyone who has worked on GCC for the Amiga?

If so, what progress have you made?

I have got the GCC Preprocessor running and I have written a procedure
that converts most of the GCC source into a format that Lattice C will
compile.

If anyone out there is working on this I would like to get in contact
with you to save some duplication of effort.

2796.2Looking for the sourceSFCPMO::BENNETTThu Mar 08 1990 23:124
    I'm not currently working on porting, but have been trying to get ahold
    of the source for  GCC, G++ and BISON so that I can port them. If you
    know where I can obtain them, I'll be more than happy to keep you 
    informed on the progress.
2796.3Some information I have learnedKYOA::MIANOMad Mike's Mythical MiracleSun Mar 11 1990 14:1615
o Bison has already been ported.  Several versions are on the Fish Disks.
o All the sources can be found on DECWRL::"pub/GNU"
o I have written a few simples tools for doing pre-processing to allow
you conpile GCC source with Lattice C.
o One problem is that GCC generates assembly code for the 680x0 in the
brain dead MIT format.
o I have been able to compile some stuff with GCC on the Amiga.  The
problem is debugging a 1.5Meg image that Gurus.
o I have also been working on a VAX->Amiga GCC version.  I am probably
sighly further from nowhere on this version.  THe problem I have now
is once again the MIT format asembly code.  I have though about modifying
GAS to generate code from the AMiga but GCC for the 680x0 generates
opcodes that are not recognized by GAS.

2796.4UpdateKYOA::MIANOWith ELF V2 I've learned the phonebookMon Mar 19 1990 15:524
I've finally got a VAX->Amiga GCC cross-compiler running.  It
generates Amiga assembly code on the VAX.
