A few weeks ago I was looking for some maths stuff to get a version
of awk running - supposedly it had been ported to Minix, but after
the first four screens of warnings I gave up in disgust. Anyhow,
I read Peter Housel's docs fairly carefully, and dug some of his
references out of the library. Over my head, but it seemed to be
good stuff. He also mentioned Fred Fish's (?sp) Portable Maths
Library, so when I came across a copy of that somewhere I snarfed it.
J Bammi worked on it a while back, and tho' he used tos/gcc/gas
(I think) his 16-bit libraries compile nicely under PC 1.5.10 wD
with only slight tinkering with the makefiles. If you are building
a maths library for Minix, I can recommend Housel's bibliography
and Fishes library as a good place to start.
Good luck - Will
