I always wondered what it would be like to write my own operating system, but I never took it seriously. Until now.
|
||||
|
||||
I've grown tired of cutesy and condescending software that doesn't take itself or the user seriously. This is my effort to bring back the feeling of computing we once knew.

|
||||
|

Roughly speaking, the goal here is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s \*nix. This is a system by me, for me, based on the things I like.

## How do I get it to run?

## How do I build and run this?

You need a freestanding cross-compiler for the i686-elf target (for the kernel) and another
|
||||
cross-compiler for the i686-pc-serenity target (for all the userspace stuff.) It's probably possible to coerce it into building with vanilla gcc/clang if you pass all the right compiler flags, but I haven't been doing that for a while.
|
||||
|
||||
There's [a helpful guide on building a GCC cross-compiler](https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler) on the OSDev wiki.
|
||||
|
||||
I've only tested this on an Ubuntu 18.10 host with GCC 8.2.0, so I'm not sure it works anywhere else.
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd like to run it, here's how you'd get it to boot:
|
||||
|
||||
cd Kernel
|
||||
./makeall.sh
|
||||
./run q # Runs in QEMU
|
||||
./run # Runs in bochs
|
||||
./run # Runs in QEMU
|
||||
./run b # Runs in bochs (limited networking support)
