Building PsychOS

Building on *nix systems

1. Obtain source.

git clone https://github.com/XeonSquared/PsychOS.git

2. Build source.

./genkernel.sh

genkernel.sh is a wrapper script for genkernel.lua which is a wrapper program for the genkernel module that is actually used to generate the code.

To change the modules included, modify build.cfg.

Building on PsychOS

1. Obtain source and relevant software.

At present, the way to do this is "copy them onto the installation."

If genkernel() isn't included in your kernel you can run it as a program using luash's ! prefix.

2. Run genkernel()

genkernel("/boot/PsychOS/build.cfg","custom")

This will generate a kernel from the files listed in /boot/PsychOS/build.cfg with "custom" as part of the kernel name and return the resulting kernel as a string. You can then write that string to a file or similar.

Files

genkernel.sh

genkernel.sh calls genkernel.lua build.cfg.

genkernel.lua

Wrapper for modules/applications/genkernel.lua. Runs it with arguments.

modules/applications/genkernel.lua

Both a PsychOS module and usable as a program.

genkernel(bp, kn)

Builds a kernel using the modules listed in bp, with _OSNAME including kn.
