Re: [Tinycc-devel] Add support of musl-libc to tinycc

[avih]

Because you asked so nice, here's a less than 5 minutes guide to get enough

musl for tcc on Alpine linux, and without any permanent storage:

- Download the "VANILLA" iso (80M) from https://alpinelinux.org/downloads/
- Boot as live cd in a [V]M with network. No HDD required, 512M ram is enough*

- Login as root (no password)
- "echo \n\n\n | setup-interfaces" (or do manual setup)
- "ifup eth0"
- "echo 1 | setup-apkrepos" (or run it directly and choose manually)
- "apk add build-base git" to get some build deps (but not for the docs)

That's enough to clone the tinycc repo, build it and run the tests, but that's
without the doc tools.

[*] 256M is probably enough if you don't install git, and you might need more
if you add more tools like openssh or vim, or xfce4 etc ;)

Of course, if instead of using it as live cd you to install it someplace
then 256M should be enough for quite a lot.

All commits on mob will be part of the upcoming soon 0.9.27 release (unless
reverted until then)

For those who don't have a musl, you might describe what the problem is.
