[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Obtaining include files, libraries, etc.

davidh@dent.Berkeley.EDU (David S. Harrison) (05/07/89)

Just for fun I have decided I would like to try to bring up the
Sozobon-C compiler on my A500.  The interesting part of this
exercise is I don't have a C compiler on the Amiga.  Thus, I
plan to bootstrap the system by compiling the compiler on my
DECstation at work,  have the compiler compile itself,  run
it through the A68k assembler and then link it using BLink
on the Amiga.  I realize that I can get a binary zc.  Part of
the fun is the bootstrapping process.

My problem is this:  the compiler does not come with any libraries.
Obviously,  C is nothing without libraries.  Thus,  to test the
results,  I would like to write some simple programs using the
standard Amiga libraries and include files.  These are not included
with the standard software provided with my machine and a local
dealer claims they are not available as stand-alone entities.
Evidently,  this is because libraries and include files are 
included with all commerical compilers.  Is there a way I can
get these include files and libraries directly from Commodore
without paying for a compiler?
