I just reached the point where I can link TestKernel, which is the basic test of the CIDKernel facility (which provides 90% of the platform functionality wrapperage.) A some bits are still stubbed out in the Linux support, but the bulk of it is there. This will let me start finally running the tests and working through what's not working.
So that's a big step forward on the Linux front. It's done serious damage to my brain, but it's and important milestone. Dunno how long it'll take me to get these core tests working. But, once that's done, I can start building the core platform independent layers and running those tests. After that will be a few more of the ancillary facilities that have Win32/Linux splits.
The one I'll need to deal with first is the secure socket stuff. I guess that'll have to be built on openssl on the Linux side. That CIDSChan facility is a big one because once it's done a whole raft of platform independent code suddenly becomes usable.
