If you ask specific questions, you will probably get answers.
(Mind you I have read a
plethora of material “Porting GCC for dunces” etc, but can’t seem to
get a laundry list of things I need to do)
We have no manual for writing ports. An OS port is usually much simpler
than an architecture port. You mainly just need to worry about OS
specific path names, preprocessor defines, types (e.g. wchar, size_t),
assembler/linker options, etc. Try looking at other OS specific files
for ideas.
