Red Planet

Red Planet is an operating system written entirely from scratch targetting x86 platform. That means it doesn't use Linux, BSD or any existing kernel as a core - it uses it's own kernel. Red Planet doesn't follow POSIX standard meaning it's not an UNIX like or UNIX based system. It borrows some features from UNIX or Linux, or even Windows, but it's not another UNIX clone or even a Windows clone.

Building

# apt install cmake make xorriso mtools grub-pc-bin qemu-system-x86

Instructions

In project' root directory run:

mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

Now, to just run generated binary in QEMU, run:

make qemu-run

You can also build an ISO using:

make grub-iso

The ISO is located in build directory
