TinyCC
======
This file contains specific information for usage of TinyCC
under MS-Windows. See tcc-doc.html to have all the features.
Installation from the binary ZIP package:
-----------------------------------------
Unzip the package to a directory of your choice.
Set the system PATH:
--------------------
To be able to invoke the compiler from everywhere on your computer by
just typing "tcc", please add the directory containing tcc.exe to your
system PATH.
Include and library search paths
--------------------------------
On windows, the standard "include" and "lib" directories are searched
relatively from the location of the executables (tcc.exe, libtcc.dll).
Examples:
---------
Open a console window (DOS box) and 'cd' to the examples directory.
For the 'Fibonacci' example type:
tcc fib.c
For the 'Hello Windows' GUI example type:
tcc hello_win.c
For the 'Hello DLL' example type
tcc -shared dll.c
tcc -impdef dll.dll (optional)
tcc hello_dll.c dll.def
Using libtcc as JIT compiler in your program
--------------------------------------------
Check out the 'libtcc_test' example:
- Running it from source:
tcc -I libtcc libtcc/libtcc.def -run examples/libtcc_test.c
- Compiling with TCC:
tcc examples/libtcc_test.c -I libtcc libtcc/libtcc.def
- Compiling with MinGW:
gcc examples/libtcc_test.c -I libtcc libtcc.dll -o libtcc_test.exe
- Compiling with MSVC:
lib /def:libtcc\libtcc.def /out:libtcc.lib
cl /MD examples/libtcc_test.c -I libtcc libtcc.lib
Import Definition Files:
------------------------
To link with Windows system DLLs, TCC uses import definition
files (.def) instead of libraries.
The now built-in 'tiny_impdef' program may be used to make
additional .def files for any DLL. For example
tcc -impdef [-v] opengl32.dll [-o opengl32.def]
Put opengl32.def into the tcc/lib directory. Specify -lopengl32 at
the TCC commandline to link a program that uses opengl32.dll.
Header Files:
-------------
The system header files (except _mingw.h) are from the MinGW
distribution:
http://www.mingw.org/
From the windows headers, only a minimal set is included. If you need
more, get MinGW's "w32api" package. Extract the files from "include"
into your "tcc/include/winapi" directory.
Resource Files:
---------------
TCC can 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 now built-in tiny_libmaker tool by Timovj Lahde can be used as
'ar' replacement to make a library from several object files:
tcc -ar [rcsv] library objectfiles ...
Compilation from source:
------------------------
* You can use the MinGW and MSYS tools available at
http://www.mingw.org
http://www.mingw-w64.org
http://www.msys2.org
Untar the TCC archive and type in the MSYS shell:
./configure [--prefix installpath]
make
make install
The default install location is c:\Program Files\tcc
Cygwin can be used too with its mingw cross-compiler installed:
./configure --cross-prefix=i686-w64-mingw32-
(the prefix may vary)
* Alternatively you can compile TCC with just GCC from MinGW using
> build-tcc.bat (from the win32 directory)
Also MSVC can be used with the "VSTools Developer Command Prompt":
> build-tcc.bat -c cl
or with an existing tcc (needs to be in a different directory)
> build-tcc.bat -c some-tcc-dir\tcc.exe
Also you can copy/install everything into another directory:
> build-tcc.bat -i <dir>
Limitations:
------------
- On the object file level, currently TCC supports only the ELF format,
not COFF as used by MinGW and MSVC. It is not possible to exchange
object files or libraries between TCC and these compilers.
However libraries for TCC from objects by TCC can be made using
tcc -ar lib.a files.o ,,,
- No leading underscore is generated in the ELF symbols.
Documentation and License:
--------------------------
TCC is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License. (See
COPYING file or http://www.gnu.org/licenses/lgpl-2.1.html)
TinyCC homepage is at:
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/tcc/
WinAPI Help and 3rd-party tools:
--------------------------------
The Windows API documentation (Win95) in a single .hlp file is
available on the lcc-win32 site as "win32hlp.exe" or from other
locations as "win32hlp_big.zip".
A nice RAD tool to create windows resources (dialog boxes etc.) is
"ResEd", available at the RadASM website.
