- Short: IXemul 43.0 - various documentation
- Author: various
- Uploader: fnf@ninemoons.com
- Type: dev/gcc
-
- This is ixemul.library release 43.0, a shared library that makes it possible
- to compile and run most Unix programs under AmigaOS with almost no changes.
- IXemul is part of the ADE (Amiga Developer's Environment), a community
- effort to produce a complete development environment that is stable,
- available in source, and completely self-hosting. See the ADE readme file
- at ftp://ftp.ninemoons.com/pub/ade/README for more details about ADE.
-
- This release of IXemul integrates Jeff Shepherd's networking code. If
- ixnet.library (included) is installed then ixemul.library will use the
- networking functions from the ixnet.library, instead of the default dummy
- implementation. Ixnet.library works with AS225 and with AmiTCP. It
- supports both clients and daemons. A program that uses networking functions
- is completely shielded from the AS225 and AmiTCP differences by
- ixnet.library, which will take care of all the details for you. That means
- that there is no longer any need to provide two different binaries, one for
- AS225 and one for AmiTCP. Furthermore, it is relatively easy to add support
- for other network packages. Thanks Jeff!
-
- This release also contains new stackchecking and stack extension code,
- thanks to Matthias Fleischer, and support for the freshly completed port of
- GDB (the GNU Debugger). Thanks Hans!
-
- The net ixemul library distribution consists of several archives:
-
- ixemul-bin.lha Utils for gnu/bin, like ixtrace and ixconfig
-
- ixemul-sdk.lha Files needed to build applications that use
- ixemul.library.
-
- ixemul-doc.lha Various documentation, such as this file
-
- ixemul-src.lha Complete source code for ixemul library
-
- ixemul-tz.lha Pieces for doing TZ (timezone) management
-
- ixemul-CCCF.lha Specific flavors of the library, where 'CCC'
- is one of 000, 020, 030, or 040, for 68000, 68020,
- 68030, and 68040 respectively, and 'F' is either
- 'f', 's', or 't' for FPU support or soft floating
- point or a "trace" version (also soft float)
- respectively.
-
- For further information consult the NEWS, INSTALL, README and TODO files in
- the documentation archive.
