[comp.os.minix] Windows under MINIX for the IBM PC

sas@wsu-cs.uucp (Satyajit Singh) (06/14/89)

Hi! I am trying to develop a window environment under MINIX for
the IBM PC. I would like to get in touch with somebody who has 
tried this before. All suggestions are heartily welcome.

I am in a rush to get this done, so fast responses will be highly
appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Have you seen the mgr window system?  It floated by in one
of the unix sources groups some time ago.  As window systems
go, it was quite small.  Might not be small enough to fit
in PC Minix, though.  The posted sources were set up to
compile on a Sun, but the readme file claims it has been 
ported to the Mac and to System V.

Has anybody looked at porting mgr to Minix?  Does it need to
wait for Bignix on a 386?

Please, do not make any things for one machine only! Please develop any program
where possible for all machines running MINIX; #ifdef machine dependent parts.

When we share our efforts things will be easier.

Klamer.
