## Building
|
||||
|
||||
### Dependencies
|
||||
To build Limine, it is necessary to have an LLVM/Clang toolchain installed.
|
||||
More specifically, the following programs need to be present: `clang`, `llvm-objcopy`,
|
||||
`llvm-link`, `opt`, `ld.lld`.
|
||||
Furthermore, `nasm` also needs to be installed.
|
||||
`curl`, `tar`, and `zstd` need to be installed for retrieving `libgcc.a` during build.
|
||||
### Building the bootloader
|
||||
Building the bootloader is not necessary as a prebuilt copy is shipped in this
|
||||
repository (`limine.bin`).
|
||||
|
||||
### Compiling
|
||||
Should one want to build the bootloader to make sure the shipped copy is authentic,
|
||||
to develop, to debug, or any other reason, it is necessary to first build the
|
||||
set of tools that the bootloader needs in order to be built.
|
||||
|
||||
This can be accomplished by running:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make toolchain
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After that is done, the bootloader itself can be built with:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
make limine
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A newly generated `limine.bin` image should now be present in the root dir of the repo.
|
||||
|
||||
This newly built image should match 1:1 (aka, same checksum) as the one shipped with the
|
||||
respective commit.
|
||||
|
||||
### Compiling `limine-install`
|
||||
A simple `make` and `make install` will suffice. Use the PREFIX variable with
|
||||
`make install` to specify where to install `limine-install`. It defaults to
|
||||
`/usr/local`.
