Building
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
The build system uses Jam/MR (http://www.perforce.com/jam/jam.html).
|
|
A BeOS executable of Jam 2.3.1 is available at:
|
|
|
|
http://open-beos.sf.net/misc/jam.zip
|
|
|
|
Unzip the executable and copy it to /boot/home/config/bin.
|
|
|
|
To build the whole source tree, launch a Terminal, cd into the openbeos root
|
|
directory and just type:
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
$ jam
|
|
|
|
The configure script generates a file named BuildConfig. As long as configure
|
|
is not modified (!), there is no need to call it again. That is for
|
|
re-building you only need to invoke Jam. If you don't update the source tree
|
|
very frequently, you may want to execute configure after each update just to
|
|
be on the safe side.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: If you have checked out the latest CVS version, it is not unlikely that
|
|
some parts of the tree won't build.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Running
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
If the build went fine, a file named floppy.x86 had been created in the
|
|
root directory of the source tree. What you want to do now, is to boot from
|
|
this floppy image. Therefore you either write the image onto a real floppy
|
|
disk and restart you computer, or you write it onto a "virtual floppy disk"
|
|
emulated by a x86 PC emulator and just start this emulator.
|
|
|
|
1. Real Floppy
|
|
|
|
Put in the disk and type in the source tree's root dir:
|
|
|
|
$ dd if=floppy.x86 of=/dev/disk/floppy/raw bs=18k
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Emulated Floppy (Bochs)
|
|
|
|
Type:
|
|
|
|
$ dd if=floppy.x86 of=<floppy image> bs=18k
|
|
|
|
where <floppy image> has to be replaced with the filename of the floppy
|
|
image Bochs has been told to use (e.g. /tmp/obos.img).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bochs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
Version 1.4 of Bochs for BeOS (BeBochs) can be downloaded from BeBits:
|
|
|
|
http://www.bebits.com/app/2902
|
|
|
|
The package installs to: /boot/apps/BeBochs1.4
|
|
|
|
You have to set up a configuration for Bochs. A relatively short and
|
|
painless procedure follows:
|
|
|
|
Lauch a Terminal:
|
|
|
|
$ cd /tmp
|
|
$ /boot/apps/BeBochs1.4/bximage
|
|
|
|
Answer with "fd", RETURN (for 1.44) and "obos.img", and a floppy image
|
|
/tmp/obos.img will be created.
|
|
Open folder /boot/apps/BeBochs1.4 and backup .bochsrc. Open .bochsrc with
|
|
your favorite text editor, remove the complete contents and paste the
|
|
following instead (you may as well take the original file and insert/replace/
|
|
keep the respective lines):
|
|
|
|
romimage: file=bios/BIOS-bochs-latest, address=0xf0000
|
|
megs: 32
|
|
vgaromimage: bios/VGABIOS-elpin-2.40
|
|
floppya: 1_44=/tmp/obos.img, status=inserted
|
|
boot: a
|
|
log: /var/log/bochs-obos.log
|
|
panic: action=ask
|
|
error: action=report
|
|
info: action=report
|
|
debug: action=ignore
|
|
vga_update_interval: 300000
|
|
keyboard_serial_delay: 250
|
|
keyboard_paste_delay: 100000
|
|
floppy_command_delay: 500
|
|
ips: 2000000
|
|
|
|
Now put the OBOS boot image onto you "virtual" floppy and start Bochs:
|
|
|
|
$ cd <OBOS sources directory>
|
|
$ dd if=floppy.x86 of=/tmp/obos.img bs=18k
|
|
$ cd /boot/apps/BeBochs1.4
|
|
$ ./bochs
|
|
|
|
Answer three times with RETURN and with some patience you will see OBOS
|
|
booting.
