- Hi Minixer's
-
- I have compiled c386 with code generated for (bruce evans) bas and bld.
- I used bcc. - No problems
- Then I compiled c386 with itself (will work only if you use com I+D for c386).
- Other then com I+D no problems.
-
- I run Minix386 with a lot of extensions (mini-X, vc, sym-links, scheduler,
- shared text,...) and have tried the following:
- I compiled fs and mm. - No problems, minix behave like normal.
- I compiled kernel too. - Real problems, minix prints "Starting Minix" and
- reboots. I used bcc -0 for the real mode parts of minix. Any ideas ?
-
-
- Looks like a nice compiler. Not much slower than bcc.
- I think it could be a usefull ANSI compiler for minix386 and as I red also for
- the 68xxx. The only thing which is needed is a assembler which is able to use
- the generated floating code, bas doesn't do it. No, No, not gas (gnu assembler)
- much to big for minix. Has somebody done something on that field? Is it possible
- to modify bas and bld? -
- Hi Bruce (Evans), (hope you are listening) is it
- possible to get the source for bcc, as and ld, or
- at least for as and ld?
-
- The assembler and the linker are the last things I need to have EVERYTHING in
- source.
- I believe the gnu tools like gcc, gas and gld are not of the appropriate size
- for a small and smart system like minix.
-
- Is someone (except me) still playing with mini-X sometime?
- A small window manager and a mini-X-terminal based on mini-X would be nice.
- Wouldn' t it?
-
-
- Enjoy minix.
