[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Yes we have no Linkers

a186@mindlink.UUCP (Harvey Taylor) (01/05/91)

    What the Amiga needs is a PD linker, with source.
 I just downloaded Markus Wild's GCC & found to my chagrin that I need
 the Manx 5.0+ linker to use it.
    What is the situation now?
        Compiler    Linker
        ---         ---
        Lattice     Blink
        Manx        ln
        ---         ---
        PDC         Blink
        North C     Blink
        Sozobon C   Blink
        Dice        DLink
        GCC         ln
        ---         ---

    Has anybody seen source anywhere for an amiga linker?

How about alink? I think it comes with the C= includes, which are a must
for any C compiler. I'm currently using blink with the BuRP GCC port. You're
right; it's not an ideal situation.
