[Tack-devel] Another CVS update

[David G. <dg...@co...>]

Good news, everyone! I now have nearly all the languages and the
language runtime libraries building in CVS. This includes both the K&R
and ANSI portable libcs.

Of course, I haven't done any of the syscall libraries yet, so you can't
actually build anything *useful*, but at least it's getting there. It
also takes quite a long time to build; given that each library has to be
built for each architecture (fewer than there used to be; I had to
disable some due to bugs), there are a lot of combinations. On my work
3.8GHz P4, it takes over five minutes to compile everything, and uses
59MB of temporary space.

Languages: K&R C, ANSI C, Pascal, Modula-2, Occam, Basic. No Fortran,
because that's just a preprocessor that makes C; and no Algol-68,
because the A68 compiler is written *in* A68 and can't be bootstrapped
with a C compiler.

Architectures: 6500, arm, i386, i80, i86, m68020, ns, z80, z8000. I had
to disable pdp and vax4 because of crashes while compiling the libc.
There's also something funny going on with the other 68000 variants. In
addition, trying to compile with -O4 causes odd problems --- haven't
sorted these out yet.

Next stop: the syscall libraries.
