These are some notes to be turned into a real guide file for
the Geek Gadgets CD.
We are working on a better packaging system based on RPM.
An X-Windows port is in progress and nearly completed. It may or may not make
it onto the first Geek Gadgets CD.
Work on full support for AmigaOS "hunk format" is in progress. When
it is complete, the standard object file format for gcc will be
switched from "a.out" to hunk. The tools will continue to accept
a.out format objects and libraries though, for backwards
compatibility. Once hunk format is supported, support for standard
Amiga C extensions like "chip" will be easy to implement. Most of the
pieces are already in place.
Geek Gadgets will be a quarterly release, with intermediate
development snapshot releases via ftp from ftp.ninemoons.com or one of
it's mirrors. Subscriptions are available at reduced cost. Sales of
the Geek Gadgets CD help to support further development and a large
portion of the proceeds are made available as incentives for
developers to work on specific projects.
