With this commit, app_server now compiles and runs at boot! Nothing
particularly interesting happens, just the blue background and a mouse
pointer. Remote backends are broken and not compiled in, see #8834.
Note that it won't be possible to build this quite yet, need to get
the FreeType package uploaded.
This module provides an interface for drivers to use to perform calls
to the BIOS (only really for use by graphics drivers which need to use
the VESA BIOS). It uses the x86emu library from X.org which emulates
a real mode x86 CPU. This is necessary for x86_64 as virtual 8086 mode
no longer exists there.
The boot script now launches consoled instead if app_server does not
exist, so there is now an interactive Bash prompt! libbe requires ICU,
which is an optional package, so I've built the packages and they've
been uploaded to haiku-files.org (thanks umccullough).
* Added x86_64 linker script and relocation code.
* Some 64-bit safety fixes to the heap code.
* Added runtime_loader, libroot and bash to the x86_64 image. The boot
script will be launched, but will panic shortly after because fork
is broken.
Added a temporary Haiku64Image file that gets included instead of
HaikuImage when building for x86_64, which I will add to as I port
stuff. Images currently only include the boot loader, kernel and
a bunch of add-ons.
