@ -18,35 +18,4 @@ To build BoredOS, you need the following tools:
- *Why?* `xorriso` packages the compiled kernel, Limine bootloader, and asset files (fonts, images, userland binaries) into the final bootable `boredos.iso` CD-ROM image.
4. **QEMU** (Optional but highly recommended for testing):
- `qemu-system-x86_64` is used for rapid emulation and testing.
## Installation (macOS)
You can easily install the complete toolchain using Homebrew:
```sh
brew install x86_64-elf-binutils x86_64-elf-gcc nasm xorriso qemu
```
## Installation (Linux)
Depending on your distribution, the installation commands vary. Note that some distributions may require you to build the `x86_64-elf` cross-compiler from source if it isn't available in their default repositories.
### Debian / Ubuntu
```sh
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential bison flex libgmp3-dev libmpc-dev libmpfr-dev texinfo nasm xorriso qemu-system-x86
```
*(Note: You will need to build the `x86_64-elf` cross-compiler from source or find a compatible PPA, as it is not in the default Debian/Ubuntu repositories.)*
### Arch Linux
Arch Linux provides the regular tools in its standard repositories and the cross-compiler via the AUR:
```sh
sudo pacman -S nasm xorriso qemu-full
yay -S x86_64-elf-gcc x86_64-elf-binutils
```
### Fedora
```sh
sudo dnf install make gcc gcc-c++ bison flex gmp-devel mpfr-devel libmpc-devel texinfo nasm xorriso qemu
```
- `qemu-system-x86_64` is used to virtualize the OS for testing or to mess around.
