Hi everyone,

I'm sending out this message because in the next few months I might be
interested to set up an OpenBSD port of the C compiler 'CC386'
(http://ladsoft.tripod.com/cc386.htm). This compiler was developed on
DOS and Win32, as it targets both these platforms. Last week I made a
start porting cc386 to Unix, and I've managed to compile all the
modules and produce a buggy binary. I am working on this port in my
spare time because there's no reason why this compiler shouldn't
target OpenBSD/i386. The port already produces some working ELF
executables.

There are 2 tools in the CC386 package that I'd be interested to set
up/maintain OpenBSD ports for. The first one is obviously the compiler
itself. The name of the port would naturally be either 'cc386' or
'ladcc', reflecting the originator of this code, "LADSoft's" David
Lindauer, who I'm in contact with. The second component is a simple
implementation of make, which David calls imake. Considering imake is
already the name of something else
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imake), I might "make" David change it's
name. How would I go about creating the OpenBSD ports for these tools
when I'm ready to release them?

Thanks,

Michael
