MeetixOS Build Instructions

Prerequisites

Make sure you have all the following dependencies installed:

Debian/Ubuntu/LinuxMint

sudo apt install build-essential gcc g++ cmake ninja-build libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev libgmp-dev qemu-system-x86 qemu-utils grub2-common xorriso patch wget

ArchLinux/Manjaro

sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel gcc g++ cmake nasm ninja mpfr libmpc gmp qemu qemu-arch-extra grub2-common xorriso patch wget

Build

Toolchain

First you have to build the custom MeetixOS toolchain by running the following commands:

cd MeetixOS/Toolchain
./Build.sh

If the script fails you could restart it by typing:

./Build.sh --rebuild

If you are intentioned to do debugging you may want to keep the toolchain build file instead of deleting them, then you could pass to the script --skip-last-clean to do that:

./Build.sh --skip-last-clean

After the completion of this script your host should be able to build MeetixOS

MeetixOS

CLion

MeetixOS is a CLion project, then If you have the CLion IDE check the use instructions.

Terminal

Otherwise, go to the MeetixOS/Build directory and type the following commands.

Debug

mkdir -p Debug
pushd Debug
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=Build/CMakeToolchain.txt -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../..
popd

Release

mkdir -p Release
pushd Release
cmake -GNinja -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=Build/CMakeToolchain.txt -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ../..
popd

Then, lets build and run the system:

cd MeetixOS/Build/BUILD_TYPE_CHOSEN
ninja run

The last command will compile the code, pack a ramdisk image, build the ISO then run it via QEMU
