Well... to get started with any compiler you should start by writing your lexical analyzer and your parser. You might want to look into Lex and Yacc; two popular tools for building compilers (http://dinosaur.compilertools.net)...

Also note that building a compiler is not a beginner's task... it takes a lot of time and some decent skills... 6 months is a good time to build a compiler if you have a good background... just be ready to put lots of effort :)

Good luck.
Cheers :)
