convert & gst-ar by William Nell
--------------------------------
object file format converter and archiver for gst object files.
convert
-------
convert a gcc format object file to a gst format object file (or vice-versa)
convert takes 2 arguments, first a the type of format you are converting
to (gcc or gst) and a list of files you want to convert.
(e.g. to convert a file "junk.bin" to gcc format -
convert gcc junk.bin
this will automatically create a file called junk.o for you)
there is also a -v option which dumps a whole bunch of information about
the file you are converting.
I've used this program to convert the entire gnu.olb from gcc to gst format
and link it with my gst linker. It works pretty well except for a few
known problems. g++ object files probably won't work, if a gst file contains
any ORG directives it won't work. (There are also some problems if you
have an old version of gcc-ld and you try to link a file that has byte or
word sized relocations)
gst-ar
------
A simple version of gcc-ar for gst type libraries. It takes all the arguments
that gcc-ar accepts but ignores some of them. It can't move files around,
make a SYMDEF entry, understand before/after flags or date information.
It basically just adds, extracts and deletes. I'm working on a newer
version that adds date information and other important stuff but I don't
know when (or if) I'll finish it.
Other stuff
-----------
These programs are free so copy them as much as you like. Please leave this
readme file with them though.
