[lbpp-devel] GLBCC Status

[Anthony L. <aj...@be...>]

So, I know I said I'd release a version of GLBCC last night but
unfortunately, I got side tracked doing a website which is currently
available for critic at:

http://lbpp.sf.net/beta

So where does GLBCC stand.  It's done believe it or not.  Here is a
listing of the current directory structure:

[anthony@localhost glbcc-0.1.0]$ ll
total 16
drwxrwxr-x    2 anthony  anthony      4096 Dec 19 23:28 glbcc-0.0.1
drwxrwxr-x    7 anthony  anthony      4096 Dec 19 23:26 glbcc-core-0.0.1

drwxrwxr-x    4 anthony  anthony      4096 Dec 19 23:41 lbpp-0.0.7
drwxrwxr-x    5 anthony  anthony      4096 Dec 19 23:53 libLB-0.0.7

glbcc is the front end.  It is written in LB believe it or not (see
attachment).
glbcc-core is the Mingw development environment for that allows Linux
developers to develop on Windows and for Windows developers to develop
natively on Windows.
lbpp is the the Liberty Basic pre-processor
libLB is the runtime library

So far, the install procedure works for Linux.  I don't have a cross
compile procedure yet though.  I do not have a Windows install program
yet either.  I plan to write one up real quick in LB but unfortunately,
I will not be able to access a Windows box until tomorrow so that will
have to wait.

The whole distribution is like 50MB uncompressed so I'm gonna have a
bitch of a time uploading it since I'm on a 56K.  Four types of
downloads will be available:

Source for everything (this will probably be pretty big ~10MB)
Source for Linux only (this will be small ~100K)
Source for Linux + Windows cross-compiler (this will be decent ~5MB?)
Windows binaries + source (this will probably be big ~10MB)

I am not sure if I am going to bother having a compile procedure for
Windows natively since I can always cross compile to Windows to provide
Windows patchs.  Then I don't have to include make and binutils which
will significantly cut down the package size.

So, this week is lots of docs and configuration stuff.  Once this is
settled though, it should be smooth sailing.

Anthony
