cc65 is a complete cross development package for 65(C)02 systems, including
a powerful macro assembler, a C compiler, linker, librarian and several
other tools.
INSTALLATION_DIRS, as well as all occurrences of ${PREFIX}/man with
${PREFIX}/${PKGMANDIR}.
Fixes PR 35265, although I did not use the patch provided therein.
Significant enhancements in this version are:
o Support for JTAGICE MkII device
o New devices supported:
- AT90CAN128 ...
o Support for STK500 Version 2 Protocol
(the latter being the principal reason for the update, as the recent
firmware on the STK500 development boards requires protocol version 2)
Changes in 2.17:
* Add "-x NAME" to readelf in addition to "-x NUMBER".
* Add -i and -t switches to cxxfilt. -i disables the display of implementation
specific extra demangling information (if any) and -t disables the demangling
of types.
* Add support for the "@<file>" syntax to the command lines of all tools, so
that extra switches can be read from <file>.
* Add "-W/--dwarf" to objdump to display the contents of the DWARF
debug sections.
* Add "-t/--section-details" to readelf to display section details.
"-N/--full-section-name" is deprecated.
* powerpc-linux ld now supports a variant form of PLT and GOT for the security
conscious. This form will automatically be chosen when ld detects that all
code in regular object files was generated by gcc -msecure-plt. The old PLT
and GOT may be forced by a new ld option, --bss-plt.
* Add "-i/--inlines" to addr2line to print enclosing scope information
for inlined function chains, back to first non-inlined function.
* Add "-N/--full-section-name" to readelf to display full section name.
* Add "-M entry:<addr>" switch to objdump to specify a function entry address
when disassembling VAX binaries.
* Add "--globalize-symbol <name>" and "--globalize-symbols <filename>" switches
to objcopy to convert local symbols into global symbols.
Changes in 2.16:
* Add "-g/--section-groups" to readelf to display section groups.
* objcopy recognizes two new options --strip-unneeded-symbol and
--strip-unneeded-symbols, namely for use together with the wildcard
matching the original --strip-symbol/--strip-symbols provided, but
retaining any symbols matching but needed by relocations.
* readelf can now display address ranges from .debug_range sections. This
happens automatically when a DW_AT_range attribute is encountered. The
command line switch --debug-dump=Ranges (or -wR) can also be used to display
the contents of the .debug_range section.
* nm and objdump now have a switch "--special-syms" to enable the displaying of
symbols which the target considers to be special. By default these symbols
are no longer displayed. Currently the only special symbols are the Mapping
symbols used by the ARM port to mark transitions between text and data and
between ARM and THUMB code.
* dlltool has a switch "--ext-prefix-alias <prefix>" to generate additional
import and export symbols with <preifx> prepended to them.
since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
