KoraOs is a hobbyst OS.
The KoraOs system is composed of several components.
- Kernel
- Libc
- File-systems
- Drivers PC
- Utilities
- Desktop
- And more...
The repositories have been created to keep small components that take care of one ascpect of the system.
Also many components are made to run on other platform and can be run and tested as a unit.
To compile any deliveries for KoraOS you need to prepare a cross-compilor toolchain.
This can be done easly with the following scripts:
./disto.sh header
./resx/toolchain/build-gcc.sh --prefix=/i386-kora
However it require some knowledge to debug some issues. A simpler way might be to use the docker image which already contains all the required tools.
docker pull axfab/kora-gcc:latest
docker run -v `pwd`:/app -w /app -it axfab/kora-gcc:latest bash
Once the toolchain is up and ready it can be update using:
./disto.sh setup
And the Kora image can be build with:
./disto.sh build
The repository is not a real source repository but a pre-configure workspace to build a custom system image.
We can find all kora package into the sources/ directory. If you wanna edit
code, that the place to look at.
The package/ directory is a cache for all download packages. You might look
for archived package there, but all writing should be done by the pkg.sh
script. I'm quite proud of my Dropbox based package manager!
The directories build-{target}/ are were all intermediate files goes to
create deliveries and packages.
The 3rd_parties/ hold sources for external libraries.
The resx/ contains utilities scripts.
