CVS repository

+

+The GNU Mach source code is managed in the version control system CVS. You can check out the CVS +repository through anonymous (pserver) CVS with the following +instruction set. When prompted for a password for anoncvs, +simply press the Enter key. + +

+Source tree: +cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/hurd login
+ 
+cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/hurd co gnumach + +

Updates from within the module's directory do not need the -d parameter. + +

Archived snapshots

+

+The whole source code of GNU Mach is also available as a single +compressed TAR file via FTP. The file ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/cvs/gnumach.tgz +[3.7M] contains a snapshot of the GNU Mach source repository +which is remade daily. + +

Browsing the code

+

+You can also browse the CVS +repository of GNU Mach with your web browser. The web pages are +generated dynamically at the time you request them and are always up +to date. + +

Latest version

+

+The last stable version of GNU Mach is 1.2, but it is recommended that +you use the version in CVS instead, as this fixes some bugs that +prevent the kernel to work on some systems. + +

Installation instructions

+

+GNU Mach can be compiled or cross-compiled easily. The only package +you are not likely to have installed already is MiG, the Mach +interface generator. If you cross-compile gnumach, you need a +cross-MiG for your architecture. You also need the static version of +the C library for your host architecture, as some functions are taken +directly from it. We recommend that you use the GNU C library, other C libraries have not +been tested and might not work. After you have followed the +installation instructions in the package and the reference manual, you +should end up with a kernel binary where your boot loader can find it. + +

Booting GNU Mach

+

+To actually use the kernel and boot the GNU operating system, you need +a boot loader. Not all boot loaders are capable to boot the GNU +system, you need one that supports the multiboot standard. The +bootloader of the GNU system is GNU +GRUB, which supports a broad range of operating systems including +GNU/Hurd. +

Introduction to GNU Mach

+

+GNU Mach is the microkernel of the GNU system. A microkernel provides +only a limited functionality, just enough abstraction on top of the +hardware to run the rest of the operating system in user space. The +GNU Hurd servers implement the POSIX compatible base of the GNU system +on top of the microkernel architecture provided by Mach. +

+Currently, GNU Mach runs on IA32 machines. GNU Mach should, and +probably will, be ported to other hardware architectures or other +microkernels in the future. Mach was ported to many operating systems +in the past. +

+GNU Mach is maintained by the Hurd developers for the GNU project. If +you need help with GNU Mach or want to contribute to the development +of the microkernel, you should contact the Hurd people. + +

Advantages of GNU Mach

+GNU Mach is not the most advanced microkernel known to the planet, nor +is it the fastest or smallest, but it has a rich set of interfaces and +some features which make it useful as the base of the Hurd system. +
+
it's free software
+
+Anybody can use, modify, and redistribute it under the terms of the +GNU General Public License (GPL).
+ +
it's built to survive
+
+As a microkernel, GNU Mach doesn't implement a lot of the features +commonly found in an operating system, but only the bare minimum that +is required to implement a full operating system on top of it. This +means that a lot of the operating system code is maintained outside of +GNU Mach, and while this code may go through a complete redesign, the +code of the microkernel can remain comparatively stable. +
+
it's scalable
+
+Mach is particularly well suited for SMP and network cluster +techniques. Thread support is provided at the kernel level, and the +kernel itself takes advantage of that. Network transparency at the +IPC level makes resources of the system available across machine +boundaries (with NORMA IPC, currently not available in GNU Mach). +
+
it exists
+
+The Mach microkernel is real software that works Right Now. It is not +a research or a proposal. You don't have to wait at all before you +can start using and developing it. Mach has been used in many +operating systems in the past, usually as the base for a single UNIX +server. In the GNU system, Mach is the base of a functional +multi-server operating system, the Hurd. +
+
+ +

Status of the project

+

+GNU Mach is used as the default microkernel in the GNU/Hurd system. +It is compatible with other popular Mach distributions. The device +drivers for block devices and network cards are taken from Linux 2.0.x +kernel versions, and so a broad range of common hardware is supported. +

+However, the Linux device drivers have been improved greatly since the +2.0.x version, and a new version of Mach based on the OSKit library is +being worked on, which uses newer drivers and in general has cleaner +machine specific support code. +
