Add TIGCC to the list. http://tigcc.ticalc.org It's a (heavily-patched) GCC + a (heavily patched) GNU as + a custom linker (ld-tigcc) + a custom C library (TIGCCLIB) + other tools targeting the TI calculators with a Motorola 68000 CPU, namely the TI-89, the TI-89 Titanium, the TI-92, the TI-92 Plus and the Voyage 200. The legacy A68k assembler is non-Free, so that can't go into Fedora, however you get a fully-functional toolchain without it (with only the GNU assembler, which is what GCC uses anyway), you just can't build legacy assembly programs written for A68k. Everything else in TIGCC is Free Software under the GPL or compatible licenses (e.g. the libgcc exception for the runtime). WARNING: My current RPM is a horrible kludge, so please don't try taking my current specfile and submitting it for review, it will never pass. ;-) (Copying installed binaries into the buildroot definitely isn't going to build in Mock...) If I have anything acceptable, I'll probably submit it for review myself. As for the prefix problem: my RPM currently installs to /usr/local/tigcc, which is a blatant guideline and FHS violation. But if I'm going to change it, it'd better be to the correct location. ;-) So, is /usr/tigcc a good prefix to pick? Or would /usr/m68k-tigcc be better? (Our patched GCC doesn't care about what I pick, I can use pretty much any directory as the prefix provided it's not used by anything else.) We also have: * an IDE (KTIGCC, based on the KDE libs) * an emulator (TiEmu) with an integrated (patched) GDB and Insight port and with a GPLed replacement OS called PedroM (so the emulator can be used out of the box without TI's non-Free OS; it can also load the non-Free OS of course): http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tiemu/ * linking software (TiLP): http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/ Kevin Kofler -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
