My Hobby x86-64 OS kernel.

Building

Environment

Any Linux distribution / Bash for Windows + GCC cross compiler.

Required packages

Please use "sudo apt-get install" to install these:

nasm, xorriso, binutils-mingw-w64, gcc-mingw-w64, mtools

Cross-compiler

Method 1 - Compile yourself.

Just follow the instructions here: https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler

Remember to set the "TARGET" to x86_64-elf instead of i686-elf and build libgcc without redzone https://wiki.osdev.org/Libgcc_without_red_zone.

Method 2 - Precompiled binaries

VERSION: GCC 7.3 + Binutils 2.30

HOST: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

CONFIGURED WITH: --target=x86_64-elf --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++ --without-headers

  1. Download "cross.tar.gz" from the Github release page.

  2. Run "tar -xvf cross.tar.gz -C $HOME/opt/cross"

Compiling

Run "make all" in the root directory

The makefile generates secxkrnl.iso (kernel image), secxkrnl.elf(kernel executable), secxkrnl.dmp(kernel disassembly) at the end.

To clean all generated files, run "make clean"
