Hi there,

I just ported FPC to my operating system. The port was relativly straightforward. What applications have you found easy to port?



Does anyone know a JavaVM which is easy to port? My OS has no LibC (yet?)

I found the following VMs, which MIGHT be easy:
http://www.cacaojvm.org/
http://jamvm.sourceforge.net/
http://www.sablevm.org/
http://jikesrvm.org/

Regards,
Simon

Port newlib. NASM + Newlib = super easy to port. And it's also pretty simple to get a working binutils port if you implement most of the newlib syscalls (and add in a few more).

Fasm was very easy to port, about 2 hours, but then i am a slow coder.
