# Serenity
|
|
|
|
x86 Unix-like operating system for IBM PC-compatibles.
|
|
|
|
## About
|
|
|
|
I always wondered what it would be like to write my own operating system, but I never took it seriously. Until now.
|
|
|
|
I've grown tired of cutesy and condescending software that doesn't take itself or the user seriously. This is my effort to bring back the feeling of computing we once knew.

## How do I get it to run?
|
|
|
|
You need a freestanding cross-compiler for the i686-elf target (for the kernel) and another
|
|
cross-compiler for the i686-pc-serenity target (for all the userspace stuff.) It's probably possible to coerce it into building with vanilla gcc/clang if you pass all the right compiler flags, but I haven't been doing that for a while.
|
|
|
|
I've only tested this on an Ubuntu 18.10 host with GCC 8.2.0, so I'm not sure it works anywhere else.
|
|
|
|
If you'd like to run it, here's how you'd get it to boot:
|
|
|
|
cd Kernel
|
|
./makeall.sh
|
|
./run q # Runs in QEMU
|
|
./run # Runs in bochs
