I am finally starting to do some work on getting gcc (and hopefully g++) working on my Xenix 386 machine. The only stumbling block is that the compiler produces code that is in the AT&T style assembler syntax. Xenix's 386 assembler, masm, can not handle this. I have gotten a fair amount of interest in the past (and one offer from a co-conspirator to work on this with me. Hi Mike!) I'm interested in finding out about what work has been done on GCC on Xenix in the following areas: 1) Creating machine descriptions to generate masm code 2) AT&T as syntax to masm syntax translators 3) AT&T style assembler 4) COFF encapsulation-type work for getting gas to generate usable object files. My approach is to go ahead with plan #1 above, but I would be most interested in hearing about any others. ---Kayvan -- Kayvan Sylvan @ Transact Software, Inc. -*- Los Altos, CA (415) 961-6112 Internet: kayvan@Transact.COM -*- UUCP: ...!{apple,pyramid,mips}!mrspoc!kayvan
