 Hey everyone,
 
 I've had a bug filed against the tcc built using my Perl Alien::TinyCC
 package https://github.com/run4flat/Alien-TinyCC/issues/8. The poster
 claims that tcc cannot build viable executables on FreeBSD. I'm not a
 FreeBSD user and wouldn't know where to start, but I thought that tcc was
 supposed to build a viable executable on BSDs.

I've noticed this problem in Debian as well. I'm not sure it ever worked as 
before all the tcc testsuite was using tcc -run which works for FreeBSD and 
I'm not sure the lack of bugreport so far means anything except that nobody is 
using it on Debian/kFreeBSD.

If any tcc users on *BSD systems is reading this: we would welcome any patch 
to fix the problem.

Best regards,

Thomas

[Tinycc-devel] FreeBSD compilation issues

[David Mertens]

Hey everyone,

I've had a bug filed against the tcc built using my Perl Alien::TinyCC
package https://github.com/run4flat/Alien-TinyCC/issues/8. The poster
claims that tcc cannot build viable executables on FreeBSD. I'm not a
FreeBSD user and wouldn't know where to start, but I thought that tcc was
supposed to build a viable executable on BSDs.

BTW, the current version of tinycc distributed with Alien::TinyCC is a bit
out of date. I tried to update it a few months ago and the update broke
things, so I'm sticking with an older version. When I have some time, I'll
bring it back up to speed.

Does anybody care to work on this?

David

P. S. I've had tests against my package on MidnightBSD. My own patches
indicate that we can get support for this system by adding a case for
MidnightBSD that looks identical to the other BSD configurations in the
vicinity of line 50 of the configure script.
