Dear All, I have to do some work with Solaris 8 on x86 (i.e. Intel processors), and was wondering if anyone felt inclined to port mprime to this OS.
Now I know that most ports actually take a long time and are not worth it unless there's a significant target user base, but I'm not suggesting the typical "Can I have this graphics-intensive Direct-X Windows game on my Mac running Linux?" :-) Mprime is simply a command-line program that does file I/O, outgoing network connections ... and that's about it in terms of interacting with the OS. All this is standard POSIX stuff which might even compile without change (he says). Consequently the only questionable part is whether the assembly code is sufficiently OS independent. Would anyone be interested in giving this a try?
