for the C/C++/Linux n00b

SETUP HELL:

	install cygwin to "c:\cygwin":

		make sure to check boxes to install Perl, "Archive" (ZIP), 
		and Devel/gcc:g++ (3.4.4.3 presumably) (is Perl necessary?)

	copy the alchemy directory to: c:\cygwin\home\Lee

	copy the flex sdk bin dir from c:\program files\etc. 
	to "c:\flex" (to avoid paths with spaces in it!)

	run the alchemy config script once:

		run cygwin
		cd alchemy
		./config

	edit the textfile "C:\cygwin\home\Lee\alchemy\alchemy-setup"

		uncomment and edit line 22 to: add "export ADL=c:\flex\adl.exe"

	edit .bashrc (in C:\cygwin\home\Lee)

		echo "LEE PROFILE"

		export FLEX_HOME=~/flex
		export ALCHEMY_HOME=~/alchemy

		# "This should be added before your PATH is modified" !!
		source /home/Lee/alchemy/alchemy-setup 

		PATH=$ALCHEMY_HOME/achacks:/home/Lee/flex:$PATH
		export PATH

		alc-on

	Do this (just once, I think):

		cd $ALCHEMY_HOME/bin
		ln -s llvm-stub llvm-stub.exe

COMPILING A SWC:

	cd to the directory with the source

	always do "alc-on" before compiling, cuz it doesn't work without it even
	though i added it to the startup (dunno)

	gcc stringecho.c -O3 -Wall -swc -o stringecho.swc

		-- should give you a swc.

	import the swc into your flex builder 4 project

	make sure compiler targets SDK v4

	go to town.

SHORTCUTS

	"alc-home" takes you to the Alchemy install folder.
	"alc-on" puts Alchemy gcc toolchain replacements at the front of your path.
	"alc-off" restores original path.
	"alc-util" shows you various Alchemy-related environment vars

USEFUL TO KNOW

	"which gcc" - tells you which gcc it will use (should be the one in the achacks dir)

	ln - links shit
	rm - deletes links as well as files

Ugh: Make sure to do "alc-on" and "alchemy-setup" even though you put it in the startup script :( (?)
