Gcc has already been ported to the propeller II, (and it runs on the
original propeller too), so porting other languages should be
"relatively" easy. I've not made the attempt to port anything yet
though, mostly because I've been out of the propeller world for a couple
years, and now that the version 2 is out, I'm trying to reestablish some
working environments so I can use the propeller 2. I have bought some
of the mystery boxes, which gave me a propeller 2 edge board with 32MB
of ram, but I don't think I have an actual propeller 2 just yet.
Needing others to id things for me is making the list of products I have
hard to create, but I'm getting there.
Anyway, since gcc exists, any compiler that uses gcc as the backend
should be possible to port. I've thought about porting FPC, but I'd
have to start with a version that's already meant for smaller systems, I
do believe someone posted a link to one a few months ago, perhaps that
one could be used as a jumping off point, would be interesting to see
pascal available for the propeller boards.

Hi Adriaan,
whats about a Oberon-0 compiler compiling to Forth?
And then Forth to MacOSX? (RetroForth, Swift or whatever)
That may sound silly, but such a Compiler would help a lot to port
Obern to other platforms resp Microcontrollers etc.
For example to the Propeller II ....
Kind Regards
Markus

Any suggestions for running simple Oberon-0 programs on the MacOSX
command-line ? EIther by emulating its RISC processor or by changing
the Oberon-0 compiler ? I prefer not to load the entire Oberon system
(for which there do exist emulators).
