I have ported the MiNT patches to the latest versions of the GNU tools: binutils 2.18 and GCC 4.2.1 They are available here: http://vincent.riviere.free.fr/soft/m68k-atari-mint/ The provided binaries run on Cygwin (Windows) and are able to produce programs to be run on MiNT. Because the patches are platform-independent, they should compile without any problem on other platforms, such as Linux. I have also compiled native binaries of the binutils 2.18 for MiNT, they seem to work fine (even on plain old TOS). I currently use the MiNTLib 0.57.3, because it was the latest official version available when I started my work. I had to patch it quite a lot to get it compile with recent versions of GCC. I recently discovered that the MiNTLib was still in development, and available in a CVS repository. I would be happy to help improving the official version, in order to get it compilable without additional patching with the latest GCC (unfortunately, I have very few time right now). About the math library: I use PML 2.03, because it was the only one I found. I've recently heard about fdlibm. Is there an official companion libm for the MiNTLib ? By searching on the web, I found some pieces of tools, made by isolated people. It would be nice to work all together to provide an "official" GNU development kit for the MiNT platform. I hope my work will help. -- Vincent Rivière vincent.riviere@freesbee.fr
