programming environment: Porting Unix to the 386: The Standalone SystemThis article, last of the original three done altogether in 1990, on getting the critical pieces functioning independantly that we needed to do the port. Once these we obtained, the kernel was inevitable. The First StepWe stepwise proved out the running environment of program tools, program loading and execution, trap handling, stack, and support of high level language. Our project moved from fragile to substantive. Porting Unix to the 386: Language Tools Cross SupportWe describe the need and use of a cross-support environment to create 386 code from a non-386 machine, so as to create the initial binarys before our port can generate them. |
