Hello Josef,

While working on the port today I obtained an error that also occurs when I start the default noux_bash run script. For example, when you run the ls command inside the bash shell I obtain the following error:

[init -> noux] Segmentation fault (signum=11), see Linux kernel log for details

The error seems to occur in the constructor of the new child.

Kind regards,

Harm

Reading the porting guide [1] is usually the first step.

Creating a port mainly involves identifying the functionality the port
needs or rather expects and finding ways to provide it in Noux and/or
on Genode. Since the basic process is documented in the porting guide
I hesitate to repeat it here but, by all means, feel free to ask any
further questions if something is still unclear after reading it.

Regarding mutt, I already started porting it some time ago [1]
(the branch includes isync and msmtp as well) but have not finished
it yet. There are still some unresolved issue (e.g. our terminal
lacks support for some escape sequences issued by ncurses while
using mutt) and I only tested mbsync and msmtp briefly — I rather
expect them to fail than to work properly. That being said if you
want to give porting mutt yourself a shot, be my guest and I will
gladly lend you a hand or two :-)
