My original posting on this topic was a bit short of detail(!) so I now
offer J.Hudson's original README file which I found amongst my archives
with the compiler etc.

xtc68 : c68 cross compiler for Unix and DOS-like systems
Requirements
386 or above with at least 4Mb of memory.
Distribution
xtc68-linux.zip ELF Binaries for Linux/i386
xtc68-dos.zip DOS binaries for DOS (*), Win3.1, Win95, Win NT
xtc68-libs.zip Latest lib and include files with correct path
for xtc68.
xtc68-cwsdpmi.zip DPMI services for DJGPP DOS programs
(*) requires the freely distributable CWSDPMI DPMI extender for DOS.
The 'DOS-like' binary archive is cross-compiled (how appropriate!)
using DJGPP under Linux. This has the advantage that I do not have to
boot a DOS -like OS to compile this software. The downside is that
you're limited to 8.3 file names, even on Win95/NT. If you don't like
this, get the source code and recompile it yourself.
Components
~~
as68[.exe]as68 assembler
qcpp[.exe]GNU pre-processor
c68[.exe] c68 compiler
qld[.exe] linker
qcc[.exe] compiler driver
ql.makMakefile definitions to use native Make programs
to compile xtc68 programs
Environment Variables
~
QLINC Directory for c68 *.h files
default = usr/local/qdos/include
[usr\local\qdos\include]
Note that sys_ files are stored in a real sub-directory.
sys_stat_h - sys/stat.h [sys\stat.h]
QLLIB Directory for c68 library and startup files
default = usr/local/qdos/lib
[usr\local\qdos\lib]
The library and startup files are taken verbatim from the c68
distribution.
C68PATH Used by qcc[.exe] to find other c68 programs (if they are not
in PATH).
Using the supplied defaults, and having the binaries in your PATH, you
should not need these.
Make
xtc68 works well with existing Unix, DOS and Win make programs (for
example GNU make, Watcom's WMAKE or Borland's maker.
LD extensions
~
qld[.exe] adds an extension to standard LD.
qld -oprog @files.lnk
The @file contains the files to be linked, this is to bypass the
restrictive 16bit DOS command line limit of 128 bytes.
The @file may contain many lines of .o files separated by space. For
example, the DOS version of the QTPI ld qtpi.lnk file is:
qtp.o qtpmenu.o qsetup.o qsdata.o pqem.o pqproc.o pqset.o qedit.o
pqmenu.o pqdial.o qdsetup.o qvt100.o xprstuff.o about.o xprwin.o
hotload.o view.o xprthing.o wild.o qserver.o minnymb.o srvspawn.o
smagic.o
litem.o menu-cho.o menu.o menusubs.o menu-chk.o menu-tex.o list.o
menu_bfr.o resize.o
qsprites.o jcall.o qtasks.o qemasm.o qfont1.o qfont2.o qfont3.o qfont4.o
qchar.o spawn.o picker.o qconfig.o mono.o ioopen3.o hvers.o
The following link command is used.
ld -oQTPI @qtpi.lnk -lhotthg -lcsm
(note the position of the @qtpi.lnk option and the -l (library) options.)
In addition, xtc68 qld adds an extra 8 bytes to the excutable, the first
long word contains the text XTcc, the second long word contains the QDOS
data size requirement for the program.
XTcc blocks are supported by a number of cross-platform support
programs such as INFOZIP zip/unzip, qltools, and the uQLx qcp/qls
programs.
Other Issues
To avoid confusion with other compilers, some of the c68 images are
renamed.
CC = qcc
LD = qld
CPP = qcpp
The easiest way to handle this is to have a makefile 'include' file,
for example:
# ql.mak
CC = qcc
LD = qld
AS = as68
CPP = qcpp
%.o : %.s
$(CC) $(ASFLAGS) -c $ -o $@
And start your c68 make files with
include ~/ql.mak# or where ever it's hidden
I suggest the c68 files go into /usr/local/bin.
This works really nicely with 'make -j' for mega fast compiles.

xtc68 is based entirely on the work of Dave and Keith Walker. I am
grateful to Dave and Keith for making the complete source code
available.
xtc68 is compiled with GNU/gcc for Linux and DJGPP for DOS.
xtc68 carries NO WARRENTY. You use it at your own risk.
