#124533 - SDCC cywin and docs Responding to: ???'s previous message |

I'm still not straight on whether CYGWIN is needed in order to run SDCC, for example. The doc's are scattered about. Even the doc's that tell you where the doc's are located are scattered about, and it's there that I found my most recent self-contradiction. I was looking for doc's on the assembler syntax, and, in one place, found it was supposed to be a part of a source file set that had been tar.gz'd. In the documentation that comes with SDCC 2.6.0 chapter 2.4.9 tells you just run the setup.exe and be on the way. So cygwin is not needed. The documentation is distributed with the win32 release. Snapshots have separated documentation. And users of other platforms need to look for the docs in the source tree, just like they have to build SDCC first. The win32 has some advantages when stepping in. When becoming a power user, the sources are more interesting. For instance you need them to recompile the libraries to your needs. |
