[Cosmopolitan Libc](https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html) makes C
|
|
|
|
|
|
a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn't need an
|
2021-02-08 17:19:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures stock GCC and
|
|
|
|
|
|
Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on
|
|
|
|
|
|
Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS with the best
|
|
|
|
|
|
possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable.

## Background

|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
For an introduction to this project, please read the [αcτµαlly pδrταblε

|
|
|
|
|
εxεcµταblε](https://justine.lol/ape.html) blog post and [cosmopolitan

|
libc](https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html) website. We also have
|
|
|

|
|
[API documentation](https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/documentation.html).

## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-02-08 17:19:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
If you're doing your development work on Linux or BSD then you need just
|
|
|
|
|
|
five files to get started:
|
2021-01-29 00:19:10 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
2021-03-03 21:38:30 +00:00
|
|
|
|
wget https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/cosmopolitan.zip
|
|
|
|
|
|
unzip cosmopolitan.zip
|
2021-02-19 00:32:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
printf 'main() { printf("hello world\\n"); }\n' >hello.c
|
2021-03-04 14:13:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
gcc -g -Os -static -nostdlib -nostdinc -fno-pie -no-pie -mno-red-zone \
|
2021-03-03 21:38:30 +00:00
|
|
|
|
-fno-omit-frame-pointer -pg -mnop-mcount \
|
2021-02-08 17:19:00 +00:00
|
|
|
|
-o hello.com.dbg hello.c -fuse-ld=bfd -Wl,-T,ape.lds \
|
|
|
|
|
|
-include cosmopolitan.h crt.o ape.o cosmopolitan.a
|
|
|
|
|
|
objcopy -S -O binary hello.com.dbg hello.com
|
|
|
|
|
|
./hello.com
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you're developing on Windows or MacOS then you need to download an
|
|
|
|
|
|
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu toolchain beforehand. See the [Compiling on
|
|
|
|
|
|
Windows](https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/windows-compiling.html)
|
|
|
|
|
|
tutorial. It's needed because the ELF object format is what makes
|
|
|
|
|
|
universal binaries possible.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cosmopolitan can also be compiled from source on any Linux distro.
