This package contains binaries for NeXT's GNU assembers from OS 3.3, and the source for top level assembler driver. The driver is based on NeXT's freely available source, modified to allow the assemblers to be installed somewhere different. The assemblers themselves are the binaries on the NEXTSTEP 3.3 CD. While it is possible to recompile the assemblers from NeXT's source, it is easier to simply use the binaries NeXT supplies (since they are free software under GNU copyleft). Edit the Makefile if you need to install the assemblers somewhere other than /usr/local (and if you want the assembler driver to be built as a fat binary), and then do: make all make thin (optional) make install The NEXTSTEP 3.3 assembler supports arbitrary sections, and is required when building recent versions of EGCS. Enjoy. Melissa O'Neill <oneill@cs.sfu.ca>. November 19, 1998. (Note that the C files are from NeXT's cctools libstuff library, but have been pared down to only those functions necessary to build the driver.)
