This is the source code of E Compiler X.

   ECX is an E Compiler written from scratch in E, it supports
   68020+FPU and PowerPC cpus, AmigaOS 3.1 and MorphOS operating systems.

   High source as well as binary compatibility, together with many
   improvements over previous implementations of the language.

   Parts of the compiler comes under simpler licenses with less conditions.

   The startup/library codes and internal functions comes under zlib/libpng
   license.

   The support tools comes under the ECX TOOLS LICENSE,
   see ECXTOOLSLICENSE.TXT

   Each source describes what license it uses.

   The compiler is written in E,
   Startup/library codes are written in E,
   internal functions are written in 68k assembler + ppc assembler,
   Support tools are written in E.

   To build the compiler you will need: 
   
   1. 
      A special version of EC (called testec, see separate archive),
      to build the 68k version of ECX.
      
   2.
      AsmOne or similar to assemble the 68k internal functions into amiga link object.
   
   3.
      PAsm or similar to assemble the ppc internal functions into amiga link object.
      
   4. 
      ECX(!) to compile startup/library code modules.

Note by uploader (22/8/2025): as of today, this package is not in Aminet, and
the original webpage is down, so I grabbed it from os4depot.net. Except for the
uploader info (me) in this readme, the archive remains untouched.

Saluditos,

Ferrán.
