- Subject: Re: libraries
-
- I definitely agree that we need a set of standard include files with
- common prototypes and common structure definitions which all libraries
- can use for TOS/MiNT functions. So I'll second your motion, except that
- putting such files in a subdirectory would cause problems with compatibility
- (gcc needs #include <foo/bar.h> while some other compilers need
- #include <foo\bar.h>, and still others might want #include <foo\\bar.h>).
-
- Oh, I'll also second Julian's suggestion that the souce should continue
- to have CR/LF as line terminators. Many TOS tools don't grok just plain
- LF, and this includes some of the target compilers! (I think Sozobon and
- PureC have trouble with Unix style files).
