Augustin Cavalier 3facc270ea Jamrules: Force HAIKU_TOP to be relative. Prior to hrev47631 (2014), HAIKU_TOP was relative when jam was invoked from the repository root, and not relative when jam was invoked from any other location, including "generated." In hrev47631, Jamrules was changed to be as it was before this commit, in order to fix #11101 (Haiku repository creation failed due to the use of relative paths.) GCC, however, injects the full path passed to the compiler into some symbols under certain circumstanes (anonymous namespaces, for one), and so a relative path for more reproducible builds is preferred. It seems the aforementioned bug is no longer with us, as a full image build that I did with this change worked just fine. Note that you will have to run "configure --update" after this in the case that you usually invoke "jam" from the generated directory, as the Jamfile configure generated included absolute paths. (The reminder to do that this diff includes can be removed after some reasonable amount of time.)		2018-11-01 20:56:04 -04:00

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.
