Re: [Tinycc-devel] Outdated .def files

The nice thing with tcc is that it is fast … but also Tiny.

Once compiled it can be used on any Windows machine not bloated with Gigabytes of memory like VC++, Cygwin or Mingw64.

A slow machine with limited hard disk memory becomes a very capable dev. machine. I managed to port GNUmake with tcc and the stuff is now part of gnumake trunk.

In my opinion, as tcc do not offer the complete libc on unix-like os, Current Windows support in tcc which help tcc compile itself is enough. We can recommand user to use tcc with compatible c library (like "mingw","msvc","windows sdk"?) for other os-dependent feature.

 

I'm not familiar with Windows build system, these opinion is according to my experience.
