- To use the MiNT library enclosed herein, you will need either the MiNT
- include files (see mntinc18.zoo) or a very recent version of the GNU
- library include files; I haven't tested the latter option myself, but
- if you go this route rename the gnu.olb and gnu16.olb in this archive
- to mint.olb and mint16.olb respectively, and use the -mint flag to
- gcc to link with them.
-
- Personally, I use the MiNT libraries for everything (replacing the gcc
- libraries entirely) since 99% of the functions also work under TOS,
- and the 1% that don't are things like fork() and pipe() that one
- wouldn't really expect to work in a single-tasking OS.
-
- There are no docs; I recommend getting the source code (see mntlib18.zoo)
- and using that. The documentation for the gcc library applies to a
- lot of this library, too, so you could get that; and a good book on
- Unix and ANSI C programming would help a lot.
-
- The library is based on the gcc library that Jwahar Bammi and I put together.
- Lots of people have contributed to it, including (but not limited to):
-
- Jwahar Bammi, Kai-Uwe Bloem, John R. Dunning, Doug Gwyn, Dave Gymer,
- Alan Hourihane, Allan Pratt, Arnold D. Robbins, Edgar Roeder, Rich Salz,
- Dale Schumacher, Eric Smith, Henry Spencer, and Stephen Usher.
-
- I've hacked on things quite a bit, so if they're broken don't blame the
- original authors, blame me.
