Being rather new to the net, I expect this subject may have been flogged to death without my knowing it; in any case, I proceed. Does anyone have experience porting the GNU tools, such as C, C++, and Bison to the ST? How about doing it under Minix? What the heck is Minix anyway, besides a UX OS for Atari and others? My system is a 1040 with colour/mono, and (in about a week) 60M HD. The hard drive is the reason I am interested in a "real" os and tools. Besides, I'm thinking honours project, and C++ looks awfully appealing. Please email any info you think might to be useful to me. If all this nonsense has already been done, maybe somebody can tell me where I can get it (I'm not into re-inventing the wheel for the fun of it). I can post a summary to the net so that roughly brown belt people like myself can learn from those honourable masters who go before us. (I like the Karate metaphor).
