The build environment

The Interix Software Development Kit (SDK) provides the following compiler interfaces: cc(1), c89(1), gcc(1), g++(1), and g77(1). When you use the cc and c89 compiler interfaces, you must already have Microsoft Visual C++ set up and running in your environment. The header files provided work with both Visual C++ and gcc compilers.

You cannot compile C++ code with the cc or c89 interfaces. You must use g++ for C++ code.

This section covers:

• Directory structure
• gcc and g++
• Shared libraries
• The gdb debugger
• Using cc and c89
• Isolating features that are specific to the Interix subsystem
• make
