OK - wasn't kenc ported to Linux for bootstrapping the early Go compilers? Is that version general, or not worth my trying to use? Thanks, Arnold Charles Forsyth wrote: > > > > I doubt very much that using the Plan 9 C compilers will bring much > > additional benefit for finding bugs (except

Re: [9fans] Can compile Plan9 C compiler for windows10?

Hi Russ. Thanks for this. You are probably right, but it's always good to test against as many compilers as possible. Out of curiousity, why is linking against the system libraries so hard? I assume a port of kenc to Linux would have a driver program that would just invoke the system ld(1).

Re: [9fans] Can compile Plan9 C compiler for windows10?

Hi Arnold, The hard part is not so much the compiling but the linking against system libraries. Honestly once you have both gcc and clang happy (with no warnings), I doubt very much that using the Plan 9 C compilers will bring much additional benefit for finding bugs (except bugs in the

Re: [9fans] Can compile Plan9 C compiler for windows10?

Is there a usable, standalone, 32- or 64-bit version of kenc that works on Linux? By "usable" I mean "able to compile and run regular Linux code". For example, oh, say, compiling and testing GNU Awk. :-) (Besides GCC and clang, I test gawk with tinycc and the revived PCC compilers. I have often

Re: [9fans] Can compile Plan9 C compiler for windows10?

You're now asking a question of ABI (application binary interface) more than of the compiler. The ABI is the hard part - what the calling conventions are, linkage and executable formats, etc, which vary significantly from system to system. You may find a way to compile the compiler so it runs in

Nxm built kencen toolchain on Linux. https://github.com/rminnich/NxM We could build all of plan9 on Linux. You might be able to start there and produce .Exe's. Not tested for quite some time now. Derived from nix. On Sun, Mar 28, 2021, 6:17 AM wrote: > uh inferno's 8c compiles .exe file? >
