(minix-386, maybe ST) Message-ID: <1991Apr13.181744.5973@cc.helsinki.fi> Date: 13 Apr 91 18:17:44 GMT Organization: University of Helsinki Lines: 18 I've recently ported bash to minix-386 (nice, but takes about 300kB of RAM). It's been "tested" by me using it all the time (good editing and history - couldn't live without it any more), but I won't make any guarantees. If anybody is interested in cdiffs against bash-1.05, please mail me (I'll post if there is enough interest). The port definitely needs GCC, and 386-minix. ST-minix will probably work as well (I've sent it to one ST-minixer), after changeing a #define LITTLE_ENDIAN to BIG_ENDIAN. If the port already has been done by someone else - just ignore this message. Linus Torvalds torvalds@cc.helsinki.fi PS. I've hacked the kernel to accept gcc-compiled programs directly without going through gcc2minix, but I haven't tested it very much yet (bash works though, so most things probably will). Changes are trivial, mail me if interested. (And yes - it accepts old minix format too - you don't have to recompile everything :-)
