Carbon is an x86 operating system in early development.

Building

Note: this section was written for Linux systems. Please submit an issue if you have problems building Carbon.

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/davidaylaian/carbon.git
cd carbon

Step 2: Install Dependencies

• Make: sudo apt-get install make
• NASM: sudo apt-get install nasm
• GCC Cross-Compiler: doc/cross-compiler.md
• Xorriso: sudo apt-get install xorriso

Step 3: Build the kernel

To build the kernel, run make inside of either the kernel directory or the root directory.

Additional information and common problems can be found in doc/building-the-kernel.md.

Step 4: Build Carbon-x86.iso

To build Carbon-x86.iso, run make build in the root directory

Running

Any emulator should work, but we reccomend qemu.

To install qemu: sudo apt-get install qemu
To use qemu: qemu-system-i386 -cdrom Carbon-x86.iso

Running make test automatically builds and launches qemu with the iso in order to test it.
