[comp.unix.xenix.sco] producing COFF executables on Xenix

jay@gdx.UUCP (Jay A. Snyder) (01/13/91)

I would like to know how to do this.  Has anyone out there done it?

I have GCC.  Do I use  GCC/GAS w/o the OMF patches?

What about linking?  Gnu Link?   Where can I get the latest copy.
Does need patched?

Also, I'd like any info on where to get legal std lib source.  I'm
interested in putting together a __FREE__ development system, and
would like to make it COFF so that it can be used on other i386 ix's.

Also, could someone explain a.out vs. x.out vs. COFF?

As soon as I have a set of files to build shared libraries for
X-windows, I will make it available. There are some problems, since
X-windows expects around 8 shared libraries, and for xenix you have to
squeeze it all into one or two.
