    TinyCC-PE
    ---------

    TinyCC (aka TCC) is a small but hyperfast C compiler,
    written by Fabrice Bellard,


    TinyCC-PE is the TinyCC compiler with an extension to
    write PE executables for MS-Windows.


    Features:
    ---------

    TinyCC-PE can produce console applications, native windows
    GUI programs and DLL's.

    Most of the features pointed out by Fabrice Bellard for the
    original version are still valid, i.e:

    - SMALL! The package with ~400kb includes a complete C-compiler
      with header files for console and GUI applications.

    - With the -run switch you can run C-sources without any
      linking directly from the command line.

    - TCC can of course compile itself.


    Compilation:  (omit that if you use the binary ZIP package)
    ------------
    
    You must use the MinGW and MSYS tools available at
    http://www.mingw.org to compile TCC for Windows. Untar the TCC
    archive and type in the MSYS shell:
    
       ./configure
       make
       make install 

       TCC is installed in c:\Program Files\tcc

    Alternatively you can use win32\build-tcc.bat to compile TCC
    with just gcc and ar from MINGW. To install, copy the entire
    contents of the win32 directory to where you want.


    Installation: (from the binary ZIP package)
    -------------

    Just unzip the package to a directory anywhere on your computer.


    Examples:
    ---------

    For the 'Fibonacci' console example type from the command line:

        tcc examples\fib.c

    For the 'Hello Windows' GUI example:

        tcc examples\hello_win.c

    For the 'Hello DLL' example:

        tcc -shared examples\dll.c
        tcc examples\hello_dll.c examples\dll.def


    Import Definitions:
    -------------------

    TinyCC-PE searches and reads import definition files similar
    to libraries.

    The included 'tiny_impdef' program may be used to make .def files
    for any DLL, e.g for an 'opengl32.def':

        tiny_impdef.exe opengl32.dll

    or to the same effect:

        tcc -run tiny_impdef.c opengl32.dll


    Resource Files:
    ---------------

    TinyCC-PE can now link windows resources in coff format as generated
    by MINGW's windres.exe. For example:

        windres -O coff app.rc -o appres.o
        tcc app.c appres.o -o app.exe


    Header Files:
    -------------

    The system header files, except '_mingw.h', are from the
    3.7 mingw distribution. See also: http://www.mingw.org/


    Compile TCC:
    ------------

    With TCC itself just say:

        tcc src\tcc.c -o tcc.new.exe

    Other compilers like mingw-gcc or msvc work as well.
    To make libtcc1.a, you need 'ar' from the mingw binutils.
