Short: GNU Small Eiffel (PPC) Author: various, Andreas R. Kleinert (port) Uploader: Andreas_Kleinert t-online de Type: dev/lang Version: 0.82 (16.2.98) Architecture: ppc-powerup This is a port of the GNU Small Eiffel compiler for Amiga powerUP (TM) PPC systems. Included are ELF binaries and the complete source code - with only small changes to the included smakefiles, it may as well be used for compiling an 68k version with SAS/C. NOTE, THAT THE BINARIES ("bin" directory) ARE ARCHIVED IN bin.lha, FOR BETTER COMPRESSION ! An interesting feature of the compiler is, that it does not only consists of an Eiffel to C compiler, but also includes an Eiffel to Java bytecode compiler and various auxiliary tools. For more and detailed information on the compiler and how to use it, you should take a look at the Small Eiffel homepage under http://www.loria.fr/SmallEiffel/ where the following information has been taken from, too: ****************************************************************************** What is SmallEiffel? SmallEiffel is The GNU Eiffel Compiler. This is a free Eiffel compiler distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation . It is intended to be a complete, though small and very fast, free Eiffel compiler. It is available for a very wide range of platforms. In fact, SmallEiffel should run on any platform for which an ANSI C - POSIX compiler exists. The current distribution includes an Eiffel to C compiler, an Eiffel to Java bytecode compiler, a documentation tool, a pretty printer and various other tools. SmallEiffel uses an innovative strategy involving whole system analysis which allows compilation to be often faster than the incremental compilation of traditional compilers. It is the result of a research project of the LORIA, a join computer science research center in Nancy, France, involving: o INRIA: Institut National de Recherche en Informatique et Automatique, or French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control o CNRS: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, or French National Center for Scientific Research o University Henri Poincaré, Nancy 1 (sciences) o University of Nancy 2 (humanities) o INPL: Institut National Polytechnique de Lorraine SmallEiffel has been developed by Dominique Colnet, of the ECOO team. This project began in 1994, and since the very first public release in September 1995, SmallEiffel has been used worldwide by increasingly numerous individuals and Universities. ****************************************************************************** Email address of Dominique COLNET and Suzanne COLLIN: -- ARK, 27/Feb/98
