+ 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.

+
+ 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.
