kRnel

A small 64-bit, Multiboot kernel written in Rust.

Dependencies

Build

• clang (capable of cross-compiling for x86-64)
• nasm
• rust (0.8)
• ninja
• xorriso

Runtime

• a Multiboot-compliant bootloader

Emulation

• qemu
• ninja

Build Instructions

Linux

Some distributions have compilers that will work just fine out-of-the-box, while some don't.

$ sudo yaourt -S clang nasm qemu rust ninja libisoburn
$ cd path/to/rustboot
$ ./configure
$ ninja

OSX

You should use Homebrew for as much as possible. The configure script autogenerates binutils for you because OSX has a broken version by default. Please note that this assumes you already have clang installed via Xcode.

$ brew install nasm qemu ninja rust xorriso
$ cd path/to/rustboot
$ ./configure
$ ninja

Emulation Instructions

$ ninja run
