There are some module/fragments supporting a possible implementation of Beta.
- The object-file format for MacOS is MACH-O. There are fragments in
GENERATORsupporting MACH-O. It is probably not supporting ARM – perhaps PowerPC and/or INTEL386. But probably easy to change. - We need a code generator for ARM.
- There is a machine-type
MACOSX. - We may compile to this ,machine type using
beta -t macosx foo. - W may also execute the job-file on a remote machine
beta -m SomeMachine. - We need to get betarun implemented for ARM.
- May give problems for compiling it to ARM.
- There may perhaps be problems when compling the C-code.
- We should find out which of the other platforms that have the simplest structure and use a similar one for MacOS.
