Using the current documentation

GNUPro Toolkit, formerly known as Cygnus Developer’s Kit, or CDK, uses printed and website documentation renamed from past releases. In order to familiarize customers who may not know now where to find particular subjects, the following discussion may help clarify confusion about the current documentation structure.

Release Notes is now Release Notes for GNUPro Toolkit.

Getting Started, formerly known as Read Me First, is now Getting Started with GNUPro Toolkit which contains Introduction and Installation.

Using GNU CC is now in GNUPro Compiler Tools.

Also, GNUPro Compiler Tools contains The C Preprocessor (formerly, The C Preprocessor was in Binary Utilities).

GNUPro Debugging Tools now contains Debugging with GDB along with GDB Graphical User Interface.

All the libraries are in GNUPro Libraries, formerly known as Support Libraries. The Cygnus C Support Library is now GNUPro C Library. The Cygnus C Math Library is now GNUPro Math Library. The GNU C++ Iostreams Library is now the last book in the printed volume of the libraries.

Binary Utilities is now GNUPro Utilities. Using AS, Using GASP, Using LD and The GNU Binary Utilities retain their same names in GNUPro Utilities.

GNU Make, formerly a book by itself, is now in GNUPro Utilities.

Developer’s Kit Support is now GNUPro Advanced Topics including an updated version of Rebuilding from Source. Reporting Problems, GNU Online Documentation, Comparing and Merging Files and GNU General Public License (now in Legal Notices) are in GNUPro Advanced Topics.

Embed with GNU is now GNUPro Tools for Embedded Systems and includes additional material.

For more on locating documentation, see GNUPro Toolkit Documentation and the following discussion, Documentation orientation.

Documentation orientation

Some of the volumes in the GNUPro Toolkit documentation series contain independent titles.

Within those multi-book volume sets, each title has its own Table of Contents, pagination and Index.

For orientation, these book titles are at the bottom of every page next to the page numbers. Volume titles are at the bottom and chapter titles are at the top of odd-numbered pages. Multi-title volumes have a page bleed offset for each title on the odd-numbered pages as a visual reference.
