# MultICE # MultICE
## The MultIplexed Computing Environment for OpenComputers ## The MultIplexed Computing Environment for OpenComputers
A simple, unprotected, cooperative multitasking operating system.
### Building
MultICE uses a relatively simple build system. It has been tested on Arch Linux, Debian Linux, OpenOS and Plan9k.
#### 1. Choose modules.
The system is made out of modules from the `modules/` directory. When you run the build script, it assembles them, and optionally optomises the code for space.
Modules are specified in the `modules.cfg` file and are relative to the `modules/` folder.
An example for interactive usage with networking:
```
base/header.lua
drivers/dterm.lua
library/print.lua
drivers/keyboard.lua
library/net.lua
applications/luash.lua
base/footer.lua
```
#### 2. Configure build system
The build system has a configuration file `build.cfg`.
##### `optomise`
Can either be yes or no.
Specifies whether to run the simple optomisation function on the kernel.
##### `test`
Can either be yes or no.
Specifies whether to test the final kernel (using load). Only picks up syntax errors.
##### `log`
Can either be yes or no.
Specifies whether to output log files.
##### `opath`
Specifies where to put the output kernel.
#### 3. Build.
Simply run `build.lua`. Under OpenOS or plan9k that may just be going to the right dir and entering `build`, but under proper UNIX systems it may involve `lua build.lua`.
