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 :-)

I have much interest of it. Can you post it to comp.os.minix or would you be kind enough to send us by mail ? I strongly believe that many Minix hackers in Japan will be pleased of it. Kouichi Hirabayashi PS. I can read USENET news, but can neither send nor receive nework mail now. So I asked to nemossan@uitecgw to send this to you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is similar to Linus'. They haven't been posted for some time and other people may be interested. Also it includes fixes for file.c and chmem.c. Instructions are enclosed. This is the one I distribute to people (by email). These patches are necessary for gdb (the GNU source level debugger) to work, if you want gdb save this posting and mail me. gambatte, Alan Alan W Black 80 South Bridge, Edinburgh, UK Dept of Artificial Intelligence tel: (+44) -31 650 2713 University of Edinburgh email: awb@ed.ac.uk ----------------------------------------------------------------------- begin 644 gnutoo.tar.Z M'YV09]S4H?/FS0L "!,J7,BPH<.'$"-*G(@0AL4;-6J ##A@P;-#1RM&AQ MQD88$6'0N$$CA@R7,6*"@!&CHPV3 &I0W,FSI\^? .K,H1-&3L(P=\0 ?3@G MSYRE#DG"/$ER1HR-4+-JW<JU*]" PN^*(.GS!@78\BD,6/&JUNN)$'2..D1 MI$B2):GBA7%CA@R-*EG&['O#QHV9+FGX/?FVL>.&0HD:18A4J=>F3Q]KWLRY M,V<5H$&0-8O6Q1LY:<XDF!*&#@@B9D'(R $B1@X=-&[+D%$[1PX8"EH(%UWV M[)@$1E"#4!+�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
