The MINIX C compiler correctly handles floating point. It compiles code for floating point arithmetic into calls to library routines. At present these routines just print something like "Floating pt not implemented". To add floating point, somebody (not me) would have to write a set of floating point routines. It shouldn't be that hard, but I haven't used a number larger than 255 in years. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)

Fred Fish (fnf@mcdsun.UUCP) has recently posted a "Portable Math Library" to net.sources (or is it comp.sources?). It looks like a very complete implementation, and should be easy porting to MINIX for anyone interested. If someone wants it and is not able to get net.sources, or the Math Library didn't make it to your site, send me mail; I have a copy squirreled away. -- =============================================================================== : "Home is where you wear your hat." matt wartell : : -- E.

How can I compile a programm which is using floating points under minix st ?????? great thanks from Paul Giovanini

There is a Public Domain floating point lib avaible from GNU.
(I think it's called gnuflib).
It's on archive-server@ssyx.ucsc.edu.

Please use the floating point library that is distributed with minix-gcc or st-TOS-gcc instead. They started off with gnulib.c (which is avail on ssyx) and fixed many problems, and added a lot more functionality. Also, available in the gcc distribution are slightly higher level functions, (ldexp, modf, atof etc etc), and a portable math lib. usenet: {decvax,sun}!cwjcc!dsrgsun!bammi jwahar r. bammi csnet: bammi@dsrgsun.ces.CWRU.edu arpa: bammi@dsrgsun.ces.CWRU.edu compuServe: 71515,155

This topic is discussed in BYTE magazine SEPT 1988 on page 313. Take a look and if you implement it, please post it to the net.
