In May of 1981, a project was undertaken at North Carolina State University to develop a C compiler for the Data General Eclipse MV/8000. The compiler was to be based upon the Portable C Compiler1 (PCC), which was developed at Bell Labs by Steve Johnson. The project, now near completion, has proven to be an enlightening journey into the realm of portable software, and many lessons have been learned. This paper will describe the approach we took to porting the compiler, problems we encountered, and our solutions to these problems.
