- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Here is the source code for the current version of MiNT. There are
- lots of changes, of course, but no docs. Sorry. The "changes" file
- does provide a useful list of things that have changed since previous
- versions of MiNT. My apologies to anyone whose patches made it into
- the code, but who wasn't acknowledged in the "changes" file.
-
- Many thanks to Michael Hohmuth for maintaining the "mega-patches" for
- MiNT 1.10 and 1.11, and for all the members of the MiNT mailing list who have
- contributed bug fixes and new features to MiNT; without their support
- and hard work, MiNT 1.12 would probably not exist!
-
- Please read the notice in "copying" carefully. This code is completely
- unsupported; you use it at your own risk.
-
- COMPILER NOTES:
-
- gcc 2.3.3 works fine
-
- gcc 2.5.x causes problems in proc.c; MiNTs compiled with gcc 2.5.x don't
- work with MultiTOS (and probably have other problems, too)
-
- Pure C should work (it may need a few tweaks)
-
- Lattice is untested
-
- Sozobon is right out; you need an ANSI compiler to be able to build MiNT.
-
-
- OTHER NOTES:
-
- The "MiNT library" which is available from various FTP servers is an
- *application* library; it is definitely NOT needed to build the kernel.
- In fact, the MiNT kernel uses virtually no library functions at all;
- the few that it does use are sufficiently generic that any decent C
- library should supply adequate versions.
-
- You can build the MiNT kernel on a plain TOS system; you don't need to
- already have MiNT running.
