Augustin Cavalier f52bb5ce10 libroot: Call abort() instead of debugger() from assert(). As per the POSIX specification. This gives the calling program a chance to catch the assertion. But in the case where no signal handler is installed for SIGABRT, we will call debugger() anyway and present as a crash as before. Fixes #10295.		2019-01-22 21:50:17 -05:00

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.
