TinyCC
======

This file contains some additional information for usage of TinyCC
under MS-Windows:


Overview:
---------
TinyCC (aka TCC) is a small but hyperfast C compiler, written by
Fabrice Bellard.

TinyCC for MS-Windows can produce console applications, native
windows GUI programs and DLL's.

The package with under 300kb includes a complete C-compiler with
header files and basic system library support.

With the -run switch you can run C-sources without any linking
directly from the command line.

TinyCC can be used as dynamic code generator library in your own
program.

TinyCC can of course compile itself.


Compilation: (omit that if you use the binary ZIP package)
------------
You can use the MinGW and MSYS tools available at
http://www.mingw.org to compile TCC for Windows. Untar the TCC
archive and type in the MSYS shell:

./configure
make
make install

TCC is installed in c:\Program Files\tcc

Alternatively you can use win32\build-tcc.bat to compile TCC
with just gcc and ar from MINGW. To install, copy the entire
contents of the win32 directory to where you want.


Installation: (from the binary ZIP package)
-------------
Just unzip the package to a directory anywhere on your computer.

The binary package does not include libtcc. If you want tcc as
dynamic code generator, please use the source code distribution.


Examples:
---------
For the 'Fibonacci' console example type from the command line:

tcc examples\fib.c

For the 'Hello Windows' GUI example:

tcc examples\hello_win.c

For the 'Hello DLL' example:

tcc -shared examples\dll.c
tcc examples\hello_dll.c examples\dll.def


Import Definition Files:
------------------------
To link with Windows system DLLs, TinyCC uses import definition
files (.def) instead of libraries.

The included 'tiny_impdef' program may be used to make additional
.def files for any DLL. For example:

tiny_impdef.exe opengl32.dll

To use it, put the opengl32.def file into the tcc/lib directory,
and specify -lopengl32 at the tcc commandline.


Resource Files:
---------------
TinyCC-PE can now link windows resources in coff format as generated
by MINGW's windres.exe. For example:

windres -O coff app.rc -o appres.o
tcc app.c appres.o -o app.exe


Tiny Libmaker:
--------------
The included tiny_libmaker tool by Timovj Lahde can be used as
'ar' replacement to make a library from several object files.


Header Files:
-------------
The system header files (except _mingw.h) are from the mingw
distribution (http://www.mingw.org/).
