Hi. I've got a few quick questions. The first is, can I compile ELF binaries
with DJGPP ? The second is, does anyone know where to get the file-format for
ELF binaries ? I've searched the 'net for the specs but can't find them. I'm
interested because I wish to create my own dynamic-library routines that work
under Linux (which uses ELF) and hopefully under DJGPP as well. This is for
a game engine I'm working on, and it would be easier and more space-efficient
if I could distribute the main binary, and the user could simply pick which
dynamic libraries they needed to run the game using a particular graphics
interface of their preference (ie. XWindows, SVGAlib, OpenGL, VESA, etc.)
It's not a necessity, but it sure would be nice. Thanks to all who reply,
Pete =:-)
