The cortexa8-linux-eglibc port, for example, is <a href="http://git.os.pehjota.net/notes/free-embedded-os.git/tree/temporary-bootstrap-builder-setup-cortexa8.txt">currently built</a> using Linux-libre 3.2.7, GMP 5.0.2, MPFR 3.1.0, MPC 0.9, Binutils 2.22, GCC 4.6.2, and EGLIBC 2.15.</p> +<p>This operating system currently supports the following programming languages: C (ISO/IEC 9899 as <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Standards.html">implemented by GCC</a>), C++ (ISO/IEC 14882 as <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Standards.html">implemented by GCC</a>), UNIX shell command language (POSIX.1-2008 XCU), and microprocessor assembly languages (with syntax and directives as implemented in GNU as). Support for more languages (e.g. Perl and Python) will come as their respective interpreters and compilers are packaged; this may take time as these programs usually have many build-time and run-time dependencies and some of these programs cannot easily be cross-built.</p> <!--#include file="includes/footer.html" --> |
