and c89(1) utilities are interfaces to the compiler
and linker programs in Visual C++ (Cl.exe and Link.exe,
respectively).The Interix Software Development Kit (SDK) supports Microsoft
Visual C++, version 5.0 or later, through the cc and
c89 compiler drivers. The cc(1) and c89(1) utilities are interfaces to the compiler
and linker programs in Visual C++ (Cl.exe and Link.exe,
respectively).
The cc and c89 utilities work only with the Visual
C++ compiler; they do not work with gcc(1).
The Interix SDK supports Visual C++ for compiling C programs; it does not support Visual C++ for compiling C++ programs.
This section explains how the cc and c89 programs find the Visual C++ compiler and linker. The two main topics concern the handling of spaces in directory names, and installing Visual C++ after installing the Interix SDK.
