In order to build qword, make sure to have the following installed:
wget, git, bash, make (gmake on FreeBSD), patch,
meson (from pip3), ninja, xz, gzip, tar,
gcc/g++ (8 or higher), nasm, autoconf, bison,
gperf, autopoint, help2man,
fuse-devel (on Linux), rsync (on Linux),
parted (on Linux), and qemu (to test it).
The echfs utilities are necessary to build the image. Install them:
git clone https://github.com/qword-os/echfs.git
cd echfs
make
# This will install echfs-utils in /usr/local
sudo make installAnd finally, make sure you have xbstrap. You can install it from pip3:
sudo pip3 install xbstrap# Clone this repo wherever you like
git clone https://github.com/qword-os/build.git qword-build
cd qword-build
# Create and enter a "build" directory inside
mkdir build && cd build
# Initialise xbstrap and start a full build
xbstrap init ..
xbstrap install --all
# Enter the root directory of the repo
cd ..
# Create the image using the bootstrap.sh script
MAKEFLAGS="-j4" ./bootstrap.sh build
# If your platform doesnt support fuse, you can use.
# MAKEFLAGS="-j4" USE_FUSE=no ./bootstrap.sh ../build
# And now if you wanna test it in qemu simply run
./run.sh
# If that doesn't work because you don't have hardware virtualisation/KVM, run
NO_KVM=1 ./run.shSome MAKEFLAGS that can be useful are:
MAKEFLAGS="-j8" ./bootstrap.sh build # For parallelism
MAKEFLAGS="DBGOUT=qemu -j8" ./bootstrap.sh build # For QEMU console debug output
DBGOUT=tty # For kernel tty debug output
DBGOUT=both # For both of the above
DBGSYM=yes # For compilation with debug symbols and other debug facilities (can be used in combination with the other options)
