readme.doc emx 0.8b INTRODUCTION 22-Feb-1992
===============================================================================
Welcome to emx, a common environment for creating 32-bit programs for OS/2 2.0
and MS-DOS. You can use the GNU C compiler to compile programs for emx.
Included in the emx package are:
- emx.dll dynamic link library for OS/2 2.0
- emx.exe DOS extender for running 32-bit programs under MS-DOS
- emxbind.exe for creating .exe files which work both under OS/2 2.0 and
MS-DOS
- C header files and a nearly complete C library, including source
Additionally, the following GNU programs are available compiled and with
sources (note that these files are not part of emx):
- gcc, the GNU C compiler
- gas, the GNU assembler
- gdb, the GNU debugger
- ld, the GNU linker
- ar, nm, size, strip, objdump: some GNU utilities for dealing with binary
files
- Patched source for gcc, gas, gdb, ld, ar, nm, size, strip, objdump. You can
compile all these programs with the files that come with emx (but you also
need a make utility, such as NMAKE)
- Patches for the GNU sources
Documentation for the GNU programs is not included. Documentation is
usually included in the original GNU sources, available from prep.mit.edu
and other archives.
emx is packaged in the following files:
emxdev.zip Development system (w/o compiler)
emxlib.zip C library source
emxtest.zip Test programs (used for testing emx and the library)
Compiled GNU programs, sources and patches:
gnudev.zip GNU development tools compiled for emx
gnusrc1.zip Patched GNU sources (ld, ar, nm, size, strip, objdump, termcap)
gnusrc2.zip Patched GNU sources (gas 1.37)
gnusrc3.zip Patched GNU sources (gcc 1.40)
gnusrc4.zip Patched GNU sources (gdb 3.5)
gnupat.zip Patches for GNU sources
