An operating system from scratch just for fun
This is not a serious operating system.
You can contribute any time you want and I'd appreciate it. If you are having trouble with building, maybe there are some instructions missing. In that case, please let me know on Discord: IliasHDZ#4937
Building works only on Linux I'm afraid. So I recommend using WSL if your are on Windows.
You'll first need GCC and binutils. If you are on an x86 based computer, you can just install it using the package manager. Otherwise you'll have to compile GCC yourself and enable cross compilation to i686 architecture. More info here: https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler
Other packages required are (apt package names): nasm, xorriso, grub-pc-bin, grub-common, cmake
You'll need an emulator to test out the OS. You can use VirtualBox or you can install qemu (apt package name: qemu-system-x86)
Once all the required packages are installed, make sure CMake can find your compiler and then run the following commands:
./config.sh
./build.shThe output ISO file can then be found in bin/apostrof.iso.
You can use VirtualBox to load the ISO file or you can use the following command to run it in qemu:
./test.sh
