-## Viengoos build
+Check out Viengoos and switch to the viengoos-on-bare-metal branch
+(all development is currently done on this branch and it will
+eventually be merged into the master branch):
-####Checkout viengoos-master:
+ $ git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/hurd/viengoos.git
+ $ cd viengoos
+ $ git checkout -b viengoos-on-bare-metal origin/viengoos-on-bare-metal
- git clone git://git.savannah.gnu.org/hurd/viengoos.git
+Generate the autoconf environment (note that --force is not specified
+as we have our own version of config.guess and config.sub):
-Configure:
+ $ autoreconf -i
- autoreconf -i
- mkdir test build
+Configure a build directory:
-Make check on test (fails to complete as on July 7, 2008):
+ $ mkdir build
+ $ cd build
+ $ ../configure --host=x86_64-pc-viengoos-gnu --with-newlib
- cd test
- ../configure --enable-l4-abi=x2 --host=i686-pc-viengoos-gnu --enable-tests
- make check
+Now, build Viengoos. Running make the first time will automatically
+fetch binutils and gcc from the Internet and build a cross compiler.
+Running make again will build the Viengoos proper. Again, the build
+process with fetch several tarballs including Newlib, the Boehm GC and
+Sqlite.
-Build the compiler:
+ $ make
+ ...
+ The cross compiler is now set-up. Re-run `make' and proceed as usual.
+ make[2]: Leaving directory `.../viengoos/build'
+ make[1]: Leaving directory `.../viengoos/build'
+ $ make
- cd ../build
- ../configure --enable-l4-abi=x2 --host=i686-pc-viengoos-gnu --with-newlib
+# Booting Using QEMU
-Build cross-compiler:
+To boot Viengoos, use Grub 2. You cannot use Grub Legacy: Viengoos is
+an ELF64 executable, which Grub Legacy does not support.
- make
+First, check out Grub 2 from svn:
-Build Viengoos proper:
+ $ svn co svn://svn.savannah.gnu.org/grub/trunk/grub2
+ $ cd grub2
- make
+Before building Grub 2, you should apply the following patch, which
+makes it easy to tell Grub to load a specific grub.cfg at start up
+([details](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2009-01/msg00099.html)).
-Install the built executables:
+ $ wget http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/microkernel/viengoos/grub2-config.diff -O /dev/stdout | patch -p0
- cd ..
- mkdir install
- install -s build/laden/laden install
- install -s build/viengoos/viengoos install
- install -s build/hieronymus/hieronymus install
+Next, build Grub 2:
-## BUILD L4
+ $ ./autogen.sh
+ $ mkdir build
+ $ cd build
+ $ ../configure --prefix=`pwd`/../install
+ $ make && make install
-Get Pistachio using hg:
+Create the boot disk:
- hg clone http://hg.l4ka.org/l4ka-pistachio
+ $ cd ../install
+ $ bin/grub-mkrescue boot.img --configfile=grub.cfg --image-type=floppy --modules='help reboot serial multiboot pc configfile normal boot fat'
-Build:
+Now, create /viengoos and link viengoos and hieronymus into that
+directory:
- cd kernel
+ $ mkdir /viengoos
+ $ cd /viengoos
+ $ ln -s ~/viengoos/build/viengoos/viengoos.stripped viengoos
+ $ ln -s ~/viengoos/build/hieronymus/hieronymus.stripped hieronymus
- make BUILDDIR=/absolute/path/to/build
- cd build
+Also, create a grub.cfg file in /viengoos/grub.cfg:
-Check Makeconf.local:
+ set timeout=1
+ set default=0
+ set root=hd0,1
+
+ menuentry "Viengoos" {
+ multiboot /viengoos -D 3 -o serial
+ module /hieronymus
+ }
- make menuconfig
- Kernel->Enable experimental features->Pager ExchangeRegisters
-
- make
+NB: If you edit grub.cfg and a backup file called grub.cfg~ is
+created, qemu will use grub.cfg~ instead of grub.cfg! Thus, after
+editing grub.cfg, be sure to delete any grub.cfg~ file!
-## Build sigma0
+Finally, boot!
- cd user
+ $ qemu-system-x86_64 -serial stdio -fda ~/grub2/install/boot.img -hda fat:/viengoos -boot a
- autoheader
- autoconf
- ./configure
- make
-
-## Test!
-
-Install all executables to /usr/local/hurd. Create a menu.lst
-
- title The GNU Hurd on L4
- root (hd0,0)
- kernel /laden -D
- module /x86-kernel
- module /sigma0
- module /viengoos -D 3 -o serial
- module /hieronymus -D 3
-
-Get specific grub version:
-
- wget ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/grub/grub-0.97-i386-pc.ext2fs
-
-Use the following to boot:
-
- qemu -serial stdio -hdb fat:/usr/local/hurd -fda grub-0.97-i386-pc.ext2fs -boot a
-
-At grub prompt:
-
- grub> root (hd0,0)
-
- grub> configfile /menu.lst
-
-It will boot to a kernel debugger prompt.
+By default, Hieronymus is configured to load ruth, a test suite. Ruth
+can take a long time to complete.
