That reminds me. Weren’t there some Inferno ports for micro controllers, along the lines of the Arduino variants or their industrial counterparts? R. > On 30 Dec 2017, at 13:41, James A. Robinson wrote: > > Some folks did put Inferno onto an Android phone: > > https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2012/0

Some folks did put Inferno onto an Android phone: https://bluishcoder.co.nz/2012/06/11/building-inferno-os-for-android-phones.html I think part of what drives the directions many companies take is how easy it is to bring new people on board to do the development. It's probably quite easy to brin

I used Inferno from bitbucket.org but wasn't able to build on FreeBSD 11.x/amd64 so I just reverted back to FreeBSD 9.3/i386.  But I may try to build using 11.1/i386 with gcc.  I'll have to use KVM on OpenIndiana to try it though since I don't have a spare physical machine at the moment.

I've installed Inferno on FreeBSD but how do you build it for Plan 9?  The makemk.sh file and without looking, I think the mkconfig file too, reference gcc.  And the makemk.sh has /bin/sh.  Do I have to install a Bourne or Korn shell plus gcc from contrib to compile? Thanks.
