Take a look at ports/lang/sml-nj, the SML/NJ compiler for ML. Other 'bootstrapped' languages in ports include Sather, MIT-Scheme, and Erlang IIRC. Some of these compile a small bootstrap stage on the native system, load in an initial image and then recompile themselves becoming totally `native' from that point on. > How does one implement such port?

I personally prefer a complete port; 5-10MB is ok. Regards, Koshy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
