I have the sources for minix 1.0 and plan to port minix to my 396
clone. I want to make it run in protected mode and use the hardware
resources provided by the 386 processor.
My plans are to (try) to compile minix with the GNU C compiler (GCC).
This will also require some changed startup code. I will have to do
the compilations under some other operating system. Once I have a
protected mode minix I will port all the GNU software to it.
But I race ahead of my immediate requirements. Is there an archive
site on the arpanet that I can get the patches to bring my minix
sources up to release 1.3? I want to start this project with the
latest sources. I plan to first build an AT version of minix and get
it running on my 386 to familiarize myself with minix. I will be
using the TURBOC 1.5 compiler. Has anyone already done this?
I would be delighted to cooperate with anyone else undertaking a
similar project with either TURBOC or GCC.
