+This is a brief Building OSKit Mach HowTO. It covers evrything from getting the latest sources of both the \[[http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/]\[OSKit] and the OSKit branch of the GNUmach kernel. Down to building and debugging them.

+
+First you need to checkout the relevant sources.

+
+You can use either the bleeding edge OSKit from CVS, or the latest public release. The latter is preferrable!

+
+The attached [[ATTACHURLmodulesx86pc]] file is my personal setup, it works for me. Now, how to configure and build the OSKit.
+
+Configuring:
+
+    # cd oskit-20020317/
+    # mkdir build
+    # cd build
+    # ../configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-debug
+
+Building:
+
+    # make
+    # sudo make install
+
+### <a name="OSKit_Mach"> </a> OSKit Mach
+
+To build any Mach kernel you need an interface generator, a mig. If your host system is Debian based you can get the "Cheap cross-compuler for GNU/Hurd" with a simple:
+
+    $ apt-get gcc-i386-gnu
+
+This will install the i386-gnu-mig in /usr/bin for you.
+
+Configuring:
+
+    # cd oskit-mach
+    # mkdir build
+    # cd build
+    # CFLAGS="-g" MIG=i386-gnu-mig OSKIT_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/oskit ../configure --prefix=/gnu --enable-debug
+
+Building:
+
+    # make
+    # sudo make install
+    # sudo gzip /gnu/boot/oskit-mach
