You have to install git, nasm, gcc, make 2. Then you can download source code by: git clone git://repo.or.cz/ZeXOS.git 3. Now move to source directory: cd ZeXOS 3. Lets compile whole OS and create *.iso : ./build.sh iso or make *.img image : ./build.sh img or install to floppy : ./build.sh floppy 4. Last step, you'll need burn this image, start it under virtual machine or use floppy, e.g. for starting in Qemu just enter : ./build.sh qemu 5. Have a lot of fun ! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * Multiplatform howto * Available architectures: i386, x86_64, arm 1. For compilation on ARM platform start: ARCH=arm ./build.sh 2. When all was finished succefully, you can run it under virtual machine, e.g. Qemu. You'll need installed program qemu-system-arm, then start: ARCH=arm ./build.sh qemu -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * More docs * ZeX/OS wiki pages at http://zexos.wiki.sourceforge.net/FAQ Forum is placed at http://forum.zexos.org -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- * Utilities * Kernel configure: 1. Go to kernel source directory, probably it is "kernel": cd kernel 2. Now you have to type for base-textual config: make config for QT-based GUI config: make xconfig for GTKbased GUI config: make gconfig NOTE: You'll need to clean source when you have compiled it: make clean Now you can configure your kernel and then recompile it: make -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
