Building

Requirements to build

• Rust (https://www.rust-lang.org)
• NASM (http://www.nasm.us/)
• GCC Toolchain or GCC (https://gcc.gnu.org/)

Windows

Linux

To build SnowFlake as an x86_64 target, x86_64-elf cross-compilation is required. If you do not have the x86_64-elf compiler, and your system is x86_64, you can use the 'x86_64-linux_env.sh' script.

$ sh x86_64-linux_env.sh

Arch Linux

$ pacman -S qemu nasm mtools
$ git clone https://github.com/SnowFlake/SnowFlake.git
$ cd SnowWhite
$ make run
