Sun Kernel

The Sun Kernel Source Tree

Building

To build, run build.sh then mkiso.sh as root and finally run.sh ignore the errors, it should build fine

alternatively, just run automate.sh and it will do it all for you (sudo privelleges required)

you do require an i686-elf cross-compiler, look at this to find out how to set it up: https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler please note that you require a Unix environment (specifically, Linux but could run on other ones) for these scripts to work

File organisation

the 'os' folder contains every part of the kernel in C code the 'bin' folder is where all the compiled binaries are
