In general, importing a dynamic library does not require any special linker
options or linking with import libraries. This also
implies that no *devel* packages need to be installed.

This section can only help you with the last item. Note that rewriting parts
of your program in C is *never* necessary to speed up your program, because
everything that can be done in C can be done in Nimrod.

The ECMAScript code generator
=============================
Note: As of version 0.7.0 the ECMAScript code generator is not maintained any
longer. Help if you are interested.
Note: I use the term `ECMAScript`:idx: here instead of `JavaScript`:idx:, since
it is the proper term.
The ECMAScript code generator is experimental!
Nimrod targets ECMAScript 1.5 which is supported by any widely used browser.
Since ECMAScript does not have a portable means to include another module,
Nimrod just generates a long ``.js`` file.
Features or modules that the ECMAScript platform does not support are not
available. This includes:
* manual memory management (``alloc``, etc.)
* casting and other unsafe operations (``cast`` operator, ``zeroMem``, etc.)
* file management (``openfile``, etc.)
* most modules of the Standard library
* proper 64 bit integer arithmetic
* proper unsigned integer arithmetic
However, the modules `strutils`:idx:, `math`:idx:, and `times`:idx: are
available! To access the DOM, use the `dom`:idx: module that is only available
for the ECMAScript platform.
