An operating system, not the best, but its an operating system, kinda
This OS is a hobby project, its very minimal and incomplete! Made for the "boot" hackclub YSWS
Update: I was too slow making this to ship it to boot before it ended! It wont be updated anymore, its way too much of a mess
NOTE: I have yet to try it on real hardware, and right now its only recommended to run through qemu, as shown below.
Just go to the latest release and download the .img file!
Run the file in qemu (replace the file parameter with your actual filename):
qemu-system-x86_64 -drive format=raw,file=xv0-release-VERSION.imgNOTE: I have yet to try it on real hardware, and right now its only recommended to run through qemu, as shown below.
- Linux (Only tested on linux, if on windows, try it on wsl, if it doesnt work on wsl, then... too bad? idk)
- Curl and Git installed
- Rustup
- Qemu (full version, aka with gtk gui)
- Doom1 WAD (I recommend freedoom, which is whats used for prebuilt releases)
Just clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/CheetahDoesStuff/xv0
cd xv0We have to switch the rust version to nightly to compile the program, as well as install the required bootimage crate that xv0 uses to build its bootable image:
rustup default nightly
cargo install bootimageTo be able to build the program you also need to provide some sort of DOOM wad file, this can be any DOOM wad file, but its recommended to use one of the freedoom wad files. Simply put your WAD file in the root directory and rename it to doom1.wad.
bootimage plugs directly into the default run command so we dont have to do anything with make (gmake) and we can compile the OS and automatically launch qemu with a single command:
cargo run --releaseIf you encounter any issues, please make an github issue! Any bug reports or similar help me improve and polish the OS as i keep developing it.
