Only rarely that I find something so exciting it have to share it with this list. This set of tools, called 'apbuild', fills in a few gaps in the GNU developer toolchain, which are quickly apparent to anyone coming from an MSVC background:
- apgcc Allows you to link against an older version of glibc (similar to defining _WIN32_WINNT on Windows) and offers some other handy fixes such as optimizing away unneeded shared library dependencies. A pity the GNU toolchain doesn't yet offer a handy way of specifying, in link time, the version of the shared library you wish to link against. - relaytool To whoever is familiar with MSVC Delay-Loading of DLLs, this gives roughly the same feature (though Delay Loading is still cooler, cause a) it shows up in the DLL dependency table in Dependency Walker and such, and b) upon calling an unloaded function, you get an SEH exception which you can handle, rather than an abort(), but otherwise it's better than nothing :) And best of all, it's free and just wrappers around GNU tools.
