shitty operating system ...---...
operating system built 100% from scratch without relying on anything at all, except a compiler, and currently grub (but grub will be going away soon).
Currently active development, exclusively as a hobby / learning exercise.
Make Target | Description |
---|---|
make qemu | Builds the whole OS and launches it in qemu |
make bochs | Builds the whole OS and launches it in bochs |
make debugq | Builds the whole OS and launches it in qemu with debug flags |
Since this is here for me to learn, big features are only encouraged if you do a really clean job of it, and write nice fancy commit messages. small fixes are more than welcome. Don't use tabs in source files, and generally follow the same style guides used throughout the rest of the code.
When you normally compile something, your compiler should be configured to create binaries for only the architecture of your machine. Any time you have a compiler that generates machine code for some other architecture, that would be a cross compiler. Most operating systems use a cross compiler, and that's what OSDevWiki says to do too. However, we do not live in 2000 any more, and SOS is exclusively built on, and developed for the AMD64 architecture (x86_64). This means that there is no need to waste time on a cross compiler.
