Build

Get the sources

Simply use git to get the sources.

git checkout --recursive https://github.com/wichtounet/thor-os.git

Note: the --recursive option will checkout the submodules as well.

Build

To build Thor-OS, you need a cross compiler. You need to follow these steps to build one: Cross-Compiler.

To run it you need either Qemu or Bochs.

Once you have build the cross compiler, you can run Thor-OS using one of these two ways:

1. On Qemu:

make qemu

2. On Bochs

make bochs

and normally, Thor should be running.

If you have any problem, open an issue on this project or contact me directly.

Build Bochs

For some obscure reason, Bochs 2.6.8 does not work on Gentoo (and it is the only possible version for recent kernels). It is then necessary to build it from sources:

svn co http://svn.code.sf.net/p/bochs/code/trunk/bochs bochs
./configure --enable-all-optimizations --enable-idle-hack --enable-cdrom --enable-clgd54xx --enable-cpu-level=6 --enable-disasm --enable-e1000 --enable-gameport --enable-iodebug --enable-monitor-mwait --enable-ne2000 --enable-plugins --enable-pci --enable-pnic --enable-raw-serial --enable-sb16=linux --disable-usb --disable-usb-ohci --disable-usb-xhci --prefix=/usr --with-nogui --enable-avx --enable-debugger --enable-readline --enable-smp --enable-x86-64 --with-sdl --with-term --with-sdl --with-x --with-x11 LDFLAGS='-pthread'
make -j9
sudo make install

Note that USB is disabled on purpose because there seems to be a bug on Bochs that makes it not load with them.

Moreover, it seems that on some computer, it is necessary to disable plugins, for some reasons...
