<AlmuHS>hi. I'm searching a translator example developed without libtrivfs, only with libports (or directly only Mach IPC). Do you knows some example of this?

<sneek>Welcome back AlmuHS, you have 1 message!

<sneek>AlmuHS, Gooberpatrol66 says: did you record the hurd new years party

<Gooberpatrol_66>almuhs: https://web.archive.org/web/20250812182155/https://walfield.org/pub/people/neal/papers/hurd-misc/mach-ipc-without-mig.txt

<Gooberpatrol_66> https://hurdextras.nongnu.org/ipc_guide/

<AlmuHS>Gooberpatrol_66: yes, i read this paper, but it'ś very short, and there are not example

<AlmuHS>ok, this is a bit better: https://hurdextras.nongnu.org/ipc_guide/mach_ipc_basic_concepts.html

<AlmuHS>i'm studying how the translators works in back level, to be able to port libtrivfs to Rust in the better way

<Alicia>would reading libtrivfs be an option?

<AlmuHS>i'm reading trivfs, but there are some things (some function calls, calling to ports...) which i don't understand fine

<AlmuHS>so i need to learn how a translator works, in general

<Alicia>ah

<AlmuHS>and a good way is studying how develop a translator without these libraries

<AlmuHS>this chapter could have been interesting, but it's missing "Using MIG for Mach's IPC"

<AlmuHS>Are there other docs about this?

<Gooberpatrol_66>sneek later tell AlmuHS: try the osf mach documentation listed here https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/microkernel/mach/mig/documentation.html

<sneek>Got it.

<donfelohke>software development for the Hurd?

<donfelohke>what works on Guix?

<nexussfan>if only sdl worked on hurd

<sneek>nexussfan, you have 1 message!

<sneek>nexussfan, Alicia says: here's all I got on building icecat for now https://ion.nu/tmp/hurd_icecat/ I think we have to fix whatever is going on with rustc memory allocation before we can get any further
