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.
Installation:
-------------
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.
