## <a name="Table_of_Contents"> Table of Contents </a>
%TOC%
This is a brief HowTO building OSKit-Mach (a.k.a GNUmach 2.0). It covers everything from getting the latest sources of both the [OSKit](http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/) and the GNUmach kernel. Down to building and debugging them. There is also [another guide](http://www.etherhogz.org/doc/oskit-mach.html) available.
To be able to actually make use of your recently checked out CVS version of the GNUMach kernel & C:o you need a GNU system of [gnu-20020816.tar.gz](ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/gnu/alpha/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/gnu-20020816.tar.gz) or later.
## <a name="Getting_your_hands_on_the_source"> Getting your hands on the source </a>
First you need to checkout the relevant sources.
### <a name="The_OSKit"> </a> The OSKit
**_Sources:_**
* St. Patricks day 2002 release: <ftp://flux.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/oskit-20020317.tar.gz>
* Valentine's day 2001 release: <ftp://flux.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/oskit-20010214.tar.gz>
**_Patches:_**
* Useful patches are available [[Mach/UsefulOskitPatches]] or on the nearest Debian FTP.
### <a name="Accessing_the_GNU_CVS"> </a> Accessing the GNU CVS
The recommended document for accessing the Hurd CVS on Savannah is at <http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=hurd>
This is only a brief restatement, which may be inaccurate. Setup your environment with the `CVSROOT` variable and login as anonymous. How you do this may differ between shells.
$ export CVSROOT=":pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.gnu.org:/cvsroot/hurd"
$ cvs login # Press Enter when asking for password
**_Gnu Mach:_**
All development, apart from critical bug fixes, is done on the upcoming 2.0 release. Previously the `oskit-branch` of gnumach, now on `HEAD` (the default CVS tag).
$ cvs -z3 co gnumach
In case you have been tracking the oskit-branch and want to move to the current `HEAD` branch you can issue the following instead to update your tree.
$ cd <YOUR MACH DIR>
$ cvs -z3 update -r HEAD -Pd
Where <YOUR MACH DIR> can be `gnumach`, `oskit-mach`, or similar.
_Using `-r HEAD` is a bad thing because this setting is sticky. The right way to get out of a branch is with `update -A`. Ref: `info (cvs)Sticky tags`._ -- [[Main/LaloMartins]] - 01 Jan 2003
**_The Hurd servers:_**
In case you want to build the Hurd servers as well, you can check them out with:
$ cvs -z3 co hurd
**_Inteface generator:_**
See the [[Mig/MachInterfaceGenerator]] for more information.
Check it out using
$ cvs -z3 co mig
## <a name="Building"> Building </a>
The recommended versions of GCC are
<dl>
<dt> For the OSKit</dt>
<dd> GCC 2.95.X </dd>
<dt> For GNUmach and <nop>MiG</nop></dt>
<dd> GCC 3.2 </dd>
</dl>
### <a name="The_OSKit"> </a> The OSKit
Do _not_ forget to apply all known [[Mach/UsefulOskitPatches]] before starting the build!
The attached [[ATTACHURLmodulesx86pc]], or [[ATTACHURLmodules-lightx86pc]], is an example setup, your needs may vary but this one works for standard COTS PC's. Now, how to configure and build the OSKit.
$ cd oskit-20020317/
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ CC=gcc-2.95 \
CFLAGS="-g" \
../configure --prefix=/usr/local \
--enable-debug \
--enable-modulefile=modules-light.x86.pc
$ make
$ sudo make install
### <a name="Mach_Interface_Generator"> Mach Interface Generator </a>
To build any Mach kernel you need an interface generator, MiG. To be on the safe side, use the CVS version. If you use Debian, you can install package [mig-i386-gnu](http://packages.debian.org/mig-i386-gnu). If you don't use Debian or want to compile MiG by yourself on Linux/\*BSD system, you must first install Mach headers. In Mach directory do:
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure --prefix=/usr # Default prefix is / !
$ sudo make -k install-headers # -k is for ignoring errors
Now you are ready to compile and install MiG (commands are in Mig's source directory):
$ automake --add-missing # sometimes it's needed
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ ../configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
### <a name="GNUmach_2_0_OSKit_Mach_"> </a> GNUmach 2.0 (OSKit-Mach)
Different to its half sister, the OSKit-Mach kernel does _not_ need a cross compiler. The regular gcc for your x86 Linux system does just fine. However, you might want to use gcc 3.2 with the latest and greatest CVS version of Mach.
**_Configuring:_**
$ cd gnumach
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ MIG=/usr/local/bin/mig \
CC=gcc-3.2 \
CFLAGS="-g -O" \
OSKIT_LIBDIR=/usr/local/lib/oskit \
../configure --prefix=/gnu
**_Building:_**
Instead of using `make kernel` to build kernel, in OSKit-Mach you have to use <code>make kernel-<var>DRIVERS</var></code>, where <var>DRIVERS</var> is <code><var>DRIVER</var>+<var>DRIVER</var>+...+<var>DRIVER</var></code> (a list of drivers separated by `+`). <var>DRIVER</var> can be one of:
* `ide`
* `floppy`
* <code>ethernet\_<var>ETHDRV</var></code> where <var>ETHDRV</var> is taken from `oskit/oskit/dev/linux_ethernet.h`.
* <code>scsi\_<var>SCSIDRV</var></code> where <var>SCSIDRV</var> is taken from `oskit/oskit/dev/linux_scsi.h`.
Thus, to build a IDE capable kernel with 3Com Vortex Boomerang support you use the following:
$ make kernel-ide+ethernet_vortex
$ sudo make install
$ sudo gzip -f /gnu/boot/oskit-mach
If you want to use tftp to download the kernel from Grub and don't care about the symbols I recommend either stripping or removing the `--enable-debug` and `-g` statements.

## <a name="Comments_"> Comments: </a>
_I think this is a bug that you have to specify $prefix/lib/oskit as OSKIT\_LIBDIR when configuring oskit-mach. Libdir is usually just $prefix/lib._ -- [[Main/MichalSuchanek]]
_I think not. The $prefix variable in autoconf comes from the --prefix option to configure, that in turn is intended as the prefix path to the installation of the package you are configuring, i.e. oskit-mach and **NOT** the OSKit itself_ -- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]]
_I refer to the $prefix value at the time oskit is built. Of course, you can choose a different prefix for oskit-mach._ -- [[Main/MichalSuchanek]]
_I see, it was not that clear the context of your first comment, well anyhow when reality changes so will this page. :)\__ -- [[Main/JoachimNilsson]]
