This is a simple and really small C Library to be used when creating Utils in C.
The library is written partially in ARM Assembly (AArch32) and partially in ANSI C (C99) and it's for static link use only at the moment.
To build from the source just git clone this repo and then go to uCLib -> src directory.
Before you try to build the lib make sure your RISC OS Filer has "seen" the !SetPaths application inside the AcornC_C++ directory you created when you installed ROOL DDE.
To build the lib directly is very easy, just double click on the MkDDE script file you'll find in uCLib -> src.
The building process will copy the object files in !LibuCLib app in the right places and also the header files as required.
For Acorn/ROOL Builder users: At this time building the lib using Builder is not supported, I'll have a look into that and make sure it can be built using the Builder too in the future.
At this time building using GCC is not yet supported, so please be patient, it will definitely be done as soon as the library gets useful enough.
To understand the details of how to use it, please have a look at the test files in the "tests" directory.
In general terms the idea behind this library is to provide a minimal and functional set of C functions so that you can easily create utils that:
- Accept input parameters from the command line
- Can print out messages on the screen
- Can do file I/O
- Have basic C strings support (for text manipoulation)
