Metta is a multimedia, mobile, social OS

My goal is to make Metta the platform for social, efficient and fun life on the internet. I call such internet egocentric, because it revolves around your needs and desires. See a more detailed description at https://metta.systems.

To build Metta

• Check out the sources:

 $ mkdir Metta; cd Metta
 $ git clone https://github.com/metta-systems/metta.git develop
 $ cd develop; git checkout develop

Sources will be checked out into branch "develop" under "Metta". This extra umbrella directory is needed because toolchain builder will create Metta/toolchain for the local toolchain it builds.

• Install dependencies

• yasm assembler, brew install yasm for example.

• boost, brew install boost

• OSSP UUID implementation, brew install ossp-uuid

• up-to-date openssl, brew install openssl

• cdrtools (for mkisofs), brew install cdrtools

• cmake, brew install cmake

• ninja, brew install ninja

• bochs emulator, brew install bochs

All dependencies in one command:

 $ brew install yasm boost ossp-uuid openssl cdrtools cmake ninja bochs

• Generate a toolchain.

 $ cd Metta
 $ sh develop/build_toolchain.sh

This is going to take a while.

If you're unable to build toolchain locally and are on a (post-) Lion Mac, download prebuilt one and unpack it.

 $ cd Metta
 $ wget https://r.metta.systems/downloads/toolchain-x86_64-darwin.tar.bz2
 $ tar xf toolchain-x86_64-darwin.tar.bz2

• Build Metta

 $ cd Metta/develop/src
 $ sh buildit.sh

• After successful build run emulator software to try out Metta.

src directory is preconfigured for using Bochs, so you can simply type:

 $ bochs -q
