TinyCC-PE --------- TinyCC (aka TCC) is a small but hyperfast C compiler, written by Fabrice Bellard, TinyCC-PE is the TinyCC compiler with an extension to write PE executables for MS-Windows. Features: --------- TinyCC-PE can produce console applications, native windows GUI programs and DLL's. Most of the features pointed out by Fabrice Bellard for the original version are still valid, i.e: - SMALL! The package with ~400kb includes a complete C-compiler with header files for console and GUI applications. - With the -run switch you can run C-sources without any linking directly from the command line. - TCC can of course compile itself. Compilation: (omit that if you use the binary ZIP package) ------------ You must 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 Installation: (from the binary ZIP package) ------------- Just unzip the package to a directory anywhere on your computer. 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 Definitions: ------------------- TinyCC-PE searches and reads import definition files similar to libraries. The included 'tiny_impdef' program may be used to make .def files for any DLL, e.g for an 'opengl32.def': tiny_impdef.exe opengl32.dll or to the same effect: tcc -lkernel32 -run tiny_impdef.c opengl32.dll Header Files: ------------- The system header files, except '_mingw.h', are from the 2.0 mingw distribution. See also: http://www.mingw.org/ Compile TCC: ------------ With TCC itself just say: tcc src\tcc.c -lkernel32 -o tcc.new.exe Other compilers like mingw-gcc or msvc work as well. To make libtcc1.a, you need 'ar' from the mingw binutils. Documentation and License: -------------------------- TCC is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (see COPYING file).
