[Oberon] Compiling PC Native Oberon from scratch.

[Treutwein Bernhard]

Hi Srinivas,

it should be complete and possible, but I never tried to do it.

Maybe you missed the contents of the Build directory, which are required for that.
You find it here: ftp://ftp.ethoberon.ethz.ch/ETHOberon/Native/Update/Alpha/Build

>Where can I find the assembler code for Kernel, Display and Files etc?
hmm, I found Kernel.Mod in Source1.zip and it has embedded assembler code.

>Is there a document describing the compilation steps?
I don't know of any and I fear there isn't anybody around who still knows how,
maybe Pieter Muller is still  reading occasionally this list ...

>Which compiler and tool chain is appropriate for this?
I guess you have to use OP2 and I guess you don't need anything else.

BootLinker is the tool to generate the resident system.

If somebody, who did successful bootstrap Native Oberon in Native Oberon reads 
this, please comment ...

It is a pity that the documentation for re-creating the whole system is such sparce.

Regards
