Welcome to the Mingw32 Alternate C Runtime Library Home Page

The Mingw32 Alternate C Runtime Library is being developed as a replacement for the Microsoft C Runtime Library (MSVCRT.DLL) because there is a need for a C Runtime Library for Mingw32 users which is not dependent on the Microsoft C Runtime Library, open-source, not licensed under the GPL or LGPL, and can be used freely for commercial use. It will be released under the BSD license. This library will be 100% ANSI/ISO compliant, including Unicode functions and ISO C99 functions.

Mingw32 Alternate C Runtime Library 0.0.1 Released

There is an incomplete release of the Mingw32 Alternate C Runtime Library released. It is missing makefiles and the standard I/O library. It needs a lot of work before it becomes useful for general application development.

IMPORTANT: I was beginning to implement some of the Mingw32 Alternate C Runtime Library code. I have chosen to discontinue development of the project because I do not want to be involved in potential copyright issues, especially since the SCO Lawsuit. I need a lead developer to take over the project. Developers are needed to add more code to the library to meet the goals. I have added a few source files to CVS. If you are interested in becoming a developer for this library, send email to jplatts@users.sourceforge.net.
