Building

Preperation

Before you do anything, make sure you have the submodules. The simplest way to do that is to clone the project like this:

git clone --recursive ...

But if you've downloaded it already, you can just do this:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Configuration

First, you need to generate a toolchain.json file so that we know which cross-compilers we're using.

./configure.sh --compile

This can take multiple tries, but it's pretty obvious what packages it wants you to install when it fails. This script doesn't work perfectly, take a look at it to figure out how to use the ./doit script when it breaks.

When it does work, it can take quite a while to build GCC and all of the other programs that it needs.

Support for other architectures is coming after we have something that can actually boot on x86, thanks.

Actually building

Once you've generated a toolchain.json, actually building the project is pretty easy.

./build.py

And all of the outputs will be in build/. A manifest called artifacts.json is also in that directory that tells you the different objects that were built.
