[comp.os.minix] Crosscompiling Minix Source under DOS?

feustel@netcom.UUCP (David Feustel) (10/31/90)

The READ_ME file for Elvis says that Elvis cannot be rebuilt under
Minix and suggests crosscompiling under dos. Can anyone describe this
process in detail sufficient for replication? In particular, is
translation of object or exe module formats required? Would it be
possible for a Minix program to load a Dos exe module for execution
under Minix(assume only Minix system calls)?

Though it has no bearing on the question I would like to remark that the
newest version of Elvis (I believe 1.3, but am not sure) _is_ compilable
under Minix. I did it, using PC Minix 1.5.10 on an 8088 8MHz XT.
