Development Environments

The facilities and interfaces described in this section are optional components of the System V Application Binary Interface. This section is consistent with the new section on development environments in the May 13 draft gABI.



Any system may be used to provide a development environment for ABI conforming applications. This chapter describes the commands, options, libraries, and path mechanisms necessary to produce an ABI conforming application. This development environment need not be hosted on an ABI conforming implementation.

Software Packaging Tools

A development environment for ABI applications shall include each of the following commands as defined in the AS_CMD section of Issue 3 of the SVID. The pkgmk command shall generate output compliant with chapter 2 of the gABI.
