[comp.os.minix] Xenix as development system

rtregn@faui44.UUCP (Robert Regn ) (03/15/88)

Is there somebody with experience in developing Minix on Xenix ?
In his book Mr. Tanenbaum also mentions Xenix without any further
instructions.

I think the a.out format of Xenix (the so called x.out format)
is not useful for Minix.

There is the possibility to develop programs for DOS under Xenix.
By this way one could create a  .exe format and convert it with dos2out.
The masm is also available to translate the .asm programs.
But on linking with dosld occur strange error messages like
" Fixup overflow in segment @CODE in crtso.o ".
Furthermore a unresolved function __acrtused is complained and 
I don't know where I should get it from

If you have any experience concerning this problems,
please send to:

Thanks
