These systems include +SunOS, Solaris, OSF/1, Irix, and Linux. + +To see what's available, look at the comments in the .c files. To use +a C function, just use "link cfunc" and call the function by name. + +The C functions are loaded at runtime from a library file "libcfunc.so", +which is found automatically in the Icon binary directory. This can be +be overridden by setting the FPATH environment variable to a search path. + +To build the library, run "make". This process also builds "cfunc.icn", +the file of interface procedures that actually load the C functions. |
