# NOXOS Build Instructions
|
|
|
|
**DISCLAIMER:** To build this project you need a linux system (WSL could work for Windows users, but I haven't tested it).
|
|
|
|
## Workspace setup
|
|
First create a directory and name it something like `noxos`.
|
|
Then clone at least the following repositories into that directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://git.nerdcult.net/noxos/kernel
|
|
git clone https://git.nerdcult.net/noxos/libraries
|
|
git clone https://git.nerdcult.net/noxos/userspace
|
|
git clone https://git.nerdcult.net/noxos/drivers
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
After that `cd` into the `kernel` directory.
|
|
|
|
There are a few tools required, that need to be installed:
|
|
* **gcc** - compiler
|
|
* **ld** - linker
|
|
* **nasm** - assembler
|
|
* **cmake** - build system
|
|
* **xorriso** - ISO creation tools
|
|
* **qemu** - emulator
|
|
* **ovmf** - UEFI firmware
|
|
|
|
you can check if you have all tools installed, with `./build.sh check`.
|
|
|
|
# Compiling NOXOS
|
|
The build system is based on CMake and uses a bash script to automate the kernel, libraries and drivers compilation and image creation process.
|
|
|
|
You can run the script with the following command:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./build.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All temporary data will be written into a directory called `build`.
|
|
|
|
If the Bootloader ([limine](https://github.com/limine-bootloader/limine)) isn't downloaded yet, the script will download it.
|
|
|
|
The final ISO file will be written to the `build` directory.
|
|
|
|
# Running NOXOS
|
|
After compiling, you can run NOXOS using `/run.sh`.
|
|
|
|
## BIOS Emulation
|
|
To emulate a BIOS system, you can run `./run.sh bios`.
|
|
|
|
# Debugging
|
|
## Logs
|
|
When running through the script, qemu is configured to write the kernels logs to *STDOUT* and a file called *noxos.log*.
|
|
|
|
## GDB
|
|
You can connect GDB to qemu.
|
|
To achieve this, run `./run.sh debug`.
|
|
QEMU will wait until you connect GDB to it as a 'remote' target on `localhost:1234`.
|
|
```bash
|
|
gdb build/cmake/kernel/kernel
|
|
target remote localhost:1234
|
|
c
|
|
```
|
|
(note, that the last to commands have to be 'executed' in gdb not in your shell)
|
|
|
|
**Warning:** QEMU + GDB debugging seems to be kinda broken after an update. |
