I don't know how good it is but the RISCOS gcc is here http://hard-mofo.dsvr.net/gcc/. It and zlib (www.zlib.org) are all you will need to compile sword
I'm cc'ing a friend that I think still has a RISCOS machine to see if he has used it at all or can help or has any other ideas. Steve? If it would help and I get time I might try out the gccsdk that looks as though it would work for cross-compiling on linux. It would be great to get sword working on another OS :) (ok, so it would still need someone to write a RISCOS frontend but it would be a good start). Regards, Daniel On 18 Jan 2002 at 12:44, W.
