Re: [MiNT] the kernel (was: Re: OT Highwire)



Hi Zorro! :)

Sounds like the FreeMiNT kernel is the thing that needs
to be worked on first, to get anything that the rest
of the world would help maintaining...

And who will work on that?

It's always the same problem:

To make this application, I need this lib but for this lib, I need a good MiNTlib and for a good MiNTlib, I need a good kernel.

And at the end, nothing is done.

Very true... I haven't done much in this area lately either... mostly for the same reasons you left the scene..

pthread* necessary support, mmap* required changes.

Reentrant MiNTlib's functions, virtual memory, etc...

Or a different kernel... I voiced this idea before...

What about porting GEM and related layer on top of the Linux-m68k kernel? That could be fun because one would probably learn something and it would not be perceived as useless in the CV. Digging deep in the Linux kernel
could be a dream job offer resulting experience.
