Looking Glass OS

I'm building a simple 32-bit x86 kernel as a learning exercise. The goal is to improve my C skills and learn more about system internals.

Prerequisites

• qemu-system-i386 (QEMU)
• gcc
• ld
• nasm

Building

**OS X Users** - If you're running the standard Apple dev tools, you won't be able to build this project. Look into [building a cross-compiler](http://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler) or set up a Linux VM.

To build, simply run make from within the project directory:

make

If all goes well, there should be a file named kernel-001 in the /build directory.

Running the OS

With qemu installed, run:

make run

You should see the welcome message displayed in the QEMU window.

For the more adventurous, try booting your kernel with GRUB

Goals

• Build and run a basic LISP within the OS.
• Get Duktape JavaScript Engine running within the OS.
