Origin/sources of the Amiga C libraries

Hedeon · 22 October 2017, 14:19

Hello all,

I've been fiddling with MorphOS and WarpOS lately. MorphOS has a nice up-to-date libc.a and WarpOS is lacking one. As I have ppc-morphos-gcc (for now 2.95.3) now building WarpOS binaries, i'd like to upgrade the WarpOS C libraries as it is lacking some functions I need. I looked at libnix, clib2, glibc, libc6 and newlib but got confused.

The question is:

From what source is the libc.a from MorphOS compiled? I can't find it in the SDK source. libstd++ is there, though. Anyone remembers were libc_wos.a comes from?

And while I am at it, from which source is vc.lib compiled from VBCC?

Thanks for any help.

No one knows this answer?

Nope.

Got a new libgcc and libstd++ now for WarpOS based on gcc4. But if I compile stuff like putwc() is missing. I already have borrowed stuff from libnix and clib2 but those do not support wchar. So I still need a newer (g)libc.

Or newlib. Looks easy enough to port. Busy with the libgloss functions and if this works, I'll have a nice up-to-date c lib.

Side effect is I learn a lot about gcc and c.

Do you put it on github?

I might.

Newlib ported, stdc++ recompiled. Both with gcc 5.3. Some debugging to do.

Sources in china reported that a sack of rice has fallen over.

And Germany had an opinion.

Sources for NewLib for WarpOS at:

https://github.com/Sakura-IT/Newlib_WarpOS

It's a cut-and-paste job, but it does what it is supposed to do.
