Re: Building on linux

Building with GCC now works. Tested with mingw32-3.4.4

Stability with the recompiler isn't optimal yet, but it's not
mandatory to run the system.

Here's the source :

http://www.sendspace.com/file/p9c3nf         strongtalk r36-noasm3 VM
pack.zip       1263 kbytes

Project files for VC6 and CodeBlocks included.
To build this code with GCC, the following switches are needed :
-fno-const-strings
-fno-for-scope
-fno-operator-names

cheers,
