768 :: nim.exe compiled by tynicc

  Hi! A nim.exe was succesfully compiled by a current version of the tiny C compiler. A current pathset for tcc can be found in the tiny cc mail-list (soon will be posted)

  Suggestion: use only a lower case letters in the names of the windows include files. And problem: nim.exe run on Windows 7, but on Windows XP I got an error: could not import CreateSymbolicLinkW. What this means?

  > XP I got an error: could not import CreateSymbolicLinkW. What this means? This API is available only from Vista/2008 server. To make app compatible to xp there should be preprocessor define _WIN_VER=0x501 set. It would disable not-yet-available apis and then if app compiles it should work just fine.

  Can someone test it?

  How to build nim.exe on Linux by tcc:

  • get a current version of the tcc: git clone git://repo.or.cz/tinycc.git tinycc.git
  • get a current set of staging patches tinyc-patches-2015-01-21.tbz from http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/tinycc-devel/2015-01/msg00136.html
  • tar xvjf tinyc-patches-2015-01-21.tbz; ./01-PATCH.sh; cd tinycc.git; ./configure --enbale-cross; make; make install;

  And then use a i386-win-tcc (32bit) or x86_64-win-tcc (64bit) to build a nim.exe To do so replace a gcc in build.sh with one of the above.

  To build a windows version of the tcc:

  ./configure --enable-tcc32-mingw;

  or

  ./configure --enable-tcc64-mingw;

  and then

  make;

  This will produce a tcc.exe (32 or 64 bit) and a windows version of the libtcc1.a using a i386-win-tcc or x86_64-win-tcc
