## SerenityOS build instructions
### Linux prerequisites
Make sure you have all the dependencies installed:
```bash
sudo apt install build-essential curl libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev libgmp-dev e2fsprogs qemu-system-i386 qemu-utils
```
Ensure your gcc version is >= 8 with `gcc --version`. Otherwise, install it (on Ubuntu) with:
```bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get install gcc-8 g++-8
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-8 800 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-8
```
### macOS prerequisites
Make sure you have all the dependencies installed:
```bash
brew install coreutils
brew tap discoteq/discoteq
brew install flock
brew install qemu
brew install wget
brew install e2fsprogs
brew install m4
brew install autoconf
brew install libtool
brew install automake
brew cask install osxfuse
Toolchain/BuildFuseExt2.sh
```
Notes:
- fuse-ext2 is not available as brew formula so it must be installed using `BuildFuseExt2.sh`
- Xcode and `xcode-tools` must be installed (`git` is required by some scripts)
- coreutils is needed to build gcc cross compiler
- `flock` command can also be installed with `brew install util-linux` but in that case you will need to add it to `$PATH`
- qemu is needed to run the compiled OS image. You can also build it using the `BuildQemu.sh` script
- osxfuse, e2fsprogs, m4, autoconf, automake, libtool and `BuildFuseExt2.sh` are needed if you want to build the root filesystem disk image natively on macOS. This allows mounting an EXT2 fs and also installs commands like `mke2fs` that are not available on stock macOS.
- If you install some commercial EXT2 macOS fs handler instead of osxfuse and fuse-ext2, you will need to `brew install e2fsprogs` to obtain `mke2fs` anyway.
### Build
Go into the `Toolchain/` directory and run the **BuildIt.sh** script.
Once you've built the toolchain, go into the `Kernel/` directory, then run
**./makeall.sh**, and if nothing breaks too much, take it for a spin by using
**./run**.
You can vastly reduce the build time of successive rebuilds of Serenity by installing `ccache` and `export`ing ```PRE_CXX=ccache```
Bare curious users may even consider sourcing suitable hardware to [install Serenity on a physical PC.](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/INSTALL.md)
Later on, when you `git pull` to get the latest changes, there's no need to rebuild the toolchain. You can simply rerun **./makeall.sh** in the `Kernel/` directory and you'll be good to **./run** again.

## About
*I always wondered what it would be like to write my own operating system, but I never took it seriously. Until now.*
Serenity is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.
Roughly speaking, the goal 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 build and run this?
### Linux prerequisites
Make sure you have all the dependencies installed:
See the [https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/BuildInstructions.md](SerenityOS build instructions).
```bash
sudo apt install build-essential curl libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev libgmp-dev e2fsprogs qemu-system-i386 qemu-utils
```
