Hi all, I'm Vincent Rivière from France.
I was a happy STe user in the nineties. Later I was interested by GCC, FreeMiNT, FireBee, EmuTOS and other stuff.
Thanks to Exxos and other people to keep Atari hardware alive

Hi Vincent and welcome to the forum
GCC? As in the Gnu C Compiler? I wasn't aware there was a GCC for Atari... on the other hand... how else would MinT come into beeing Did you write software with it or where you involved in the GCC port itself?

Re: BlankVector's introduction
Yes, that one
I don't know which compiler was used to compile first versions of MiNT, but I would bet it was not GCC at that time.
Anyway, GCC 2.x has been ported to FreeMiNT around year 2000 by Guido Flohr and Frank Naumann. In 2007, I have published my work on GCC 4.x. It was mainly a port of old patches to newer GCC, as well as cross-compiler binaries (i.e. use a PC to compile Atari software). Later, other people used my updated patches to produce a native GCC 4.x running on MiNT. It works fine, but requires several megabytes of RAM. Personally, I prefer to use the cross-compiler, which produces the same result.
You can see the whole story on my m68k-atari-mint cross-tools web page.
To answer your question, I have recompiled quite a lot of software for FreeMiNT (mainly GNU/Linux command-line software), but I didn't write much code myself.
