We are proud to announce the first alpha release of the Amiga port of lcc 3.5. Lcc is a fast, portable, strictly ANSI compliant C compiler described in "A Retargetable C Compiler: Design and Implementation" (Benjamin/Cummings, 1995, ISBN 0-8053-1670-1). The Amiga port is based on the m68k description contributed by Woodrow Yeung, and currently produces code for a 68030/68881. The port is nearly complete, and the compiler is able to compile itself and most of the programs thrown at it. A few problems remain, however, and we are making this release available, in the hope of finding people interested in helping us eradicate these problems. If you are interested in getting a copy of the Amiga port (source, binaries, C library, and some utilities), please send a message to either Joop.vandeWege@medew.ento.wau.nl or kyrimis@softlab.ece.ntua.gr. We stress again that the port is not quite ready for general release, so if you are only interested in getting a free C compiler for the Amiga, your best bet still is to get a copy of gcc. Looking forward to hearing from you, Joop van de Wege Kriton Kyrimis
