Re: [Tinycc-devel] TCC as default compiler
Thanks, that is helpful. I read mention of TCC including the linker, does this mean binutils is not necessary? I would be very interested to see C++ be included.

Re: [Tinycc-devel] TCC as default compiler
perhaps im not using this correctly. I built a quick chroot env with a static tcc and musl-libc. performing ./configure it still believes gcc is being used when TCC is available in the /bin dir and appears to be compiled correctly. (it responds when called anyways) Is there documentation i can reference to get started other than on the website? I don't want to ask questions that may have been answered elsewhere. thanks, and i greatly appreciate any/all help getting started. stephen On Tue, Dec 9, 2014 at 2:03 PM, stephen Turner stephen.n.tur...@gmail.com wrote: I compiled musl-libc with gcc as well as tcc.

Re: [Tinycc-devel] TCC as default compiler
Sorry, it was unexpected that there would be a config flag to set the compiler. Im getting what appears to be code related compile errors now. How can I collect data that would help troubleshoot such issues? I successfully compiled the gnu make application in the chroot env. I tried running strace but the output doesnt make sense to me. Can it help in this case show how the compiler is failing to compile musl or tinycc itself? ___ Tinycc-devel mailing list Tinycc-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel
[Tinycc-devel] TCC as default compiler
I have found tcc and wondered how viable it is as a alternative to gcc and clang/llvm for my uses. I checked the website but it appears to have been dead for several years. Does it use makefiles? can it be a simple drop in replacement for GCC (atleast for c if not c++ too) i have done a few quick serches but it seems either information is not readily available or im not asking the right questions. I see the git has recent development unlike the website. I was hoping once built, tcc could be set as the compiler by a simple CC=tcc and then one could compile code same as with gcc by ./configure make and make install. From what i have read so far its only a c compiler? Or is it being built out to support c++ as well? thanks for your time and advice/answers stephen ___ Tinycc-devel mailing list Tinycc-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel
