This is Info file gcc-faq.info, produced by Makeinfo-1.55 from the input file Amiga-GCC-FAQ.texi.  File: gcc-faq.info, Node: Top, Next: General Introduction, Prev: (dir), Up: (dir) Warning: This FAQ remains incomplete, i.e. some sections do not have an answer or much of an answer. However, on the whole, there is still a lot of information here that could be of help to you. Note: This is an update to some more current information. I am trying to find a convenient and non-intrusive way to insert URLs so that texi2html produces the proper links, while tex would produce something reasonable.

The ADE project is an attempt to remedy that by providing a central repository (at `ftp.ninemoons.com') of all ADE packages, mailing lists for developers, and a project list. Furthermore, one of the goals of ADE is to provide a completely self-hosting environment, i.e. all ADE packages can be compiled by compilers included in ADE, in which a developer can change his tools in whatever way he sees fit. Cronus donates the space on `ftp.ninemoons.com' for the central repository, under the direction of Fred Fish. Snapshots are made once every 2 or 3 months, depending on Fred's work load, and are a complete rebuild of the entire ADE tree. Phillipe Brand still maintains the net releases of GCC, as the ADE snapshots can be on the bloody (through not quite bleeding) edge of development. For more information on ADE, consult `'. and `'. I also try to maintain a list of web sites related to ADE (and other free amiga software) at `', which includes this FAQ. For information on the ADE mailing lists, consult the relevant section (in the chapter on Support).
