- convert & gst-ar by William Nell
- --------------------------------
- object file format converter and archiver for gst object files.
-
-
- convert
- -------
- convert a gcc format object file to a gst format object file (or vice-versa)
- convert takes 2 arguments, first a the type of format you are converting
- to (gcc or gst) and a list of files you want to convert.
- (e.g. to convert a file "junk.bin" to gcc format -
- convert gcc junk.bin
- this will automatically create a file called junk.o for you)
-
- there is also a -v option which dumps a whole bunch of information about
- the file you are converting.
-
- I've used this program to convert the entire gnu.olb from gcc to gst format
- and link it with my gst linker. It works pretty well except for a few
- known problems. g++ object files probably won't work, if a gst file contains
- any ORG directives it won't work. (There are also some problems if you
- have an old version of gcc-ld and you try to link a file that has byte or
- word sized relocations)
-
-
- gst-ar
- ------
- A simple version of gcc-ar for gst type libraries. It takes all the arguments
- that gcc-ar accepts but ignores some of them. It can't move files around,
- make a SYMDEF entry, understand before/after flags or date information.
- It basically just adds, extracts and deletes. I'm working on a newer
- version that adds date information and other important stuff but I don't
- know when (or if) I'll finish it.
-
-
- Other stuff
- -----------
- These programs are free so copy them as much as you like. Please leave this
- readme file with them though.
