If you ask specific questions, you will probably get answers.

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.
