Hello,
I would like to start a SymbianOS port of the compiler.
What are the guidelines for the very early stages of a port?
I mean, should I wait until it´s reasonably working before inclusion
on svn, or we could create a symbianos directory now, and add it´s
targets to the makefiles? I think the second option would be easier
for me to work with.
1. Add symbian target to the compiler
2. Take the closest existing RTL as a start and start implementing it
for Symbian
I would like to target both i386-symbian (the emulator) and arm-symbian.
Also, SymbianOS has many incompatible versions and User Interface
models. There are 4 different SDKs for it. What would be a good way to
select which SDK you wish to target? I think it would be rather ugly
to add 4 directories for symbian os, and new sdks can be developed in
the future. Perhaps some defines could be used? Like UIQ3, UIQ2, S60,
etc
User interface can be added in different units. The RTL only provides
basic access and does not use it. That is then upto for example the LCL.
