AlbaOS

AlbaOS is a 32 bit operating system developed by me from scratch as a hobby <3

How To Run AlbaOS On A Virtual Machine

• Clone the repo localy / Download the zip folder

• In your virtual machine select the boot / installer disc file as albaos.iso (in this example im using VMware workstation)

• Run the virtual machine!

How To Compile AlbaOS On Linux

• make sure you have the installs listed below
• cd to root folder (/AlbaOs)
• use command: " make clean " to remove all generated .o , .bin and ,iso files
• use command: " make albaos.iso " to generate all needed files

Installs

sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install binutils
sudo apt-get install libc-dev-i386
sudo apt-get install grub-legacy
sudo apt-get install xorriso

• g++ is a the compiler for the c++ code as i dont want to write my own
• binutils is a binary manager as well as managing the assembaly code
• libc-dev-i386 is the 32 bit architecture for the kernel
• grub legacy allows for multibooting and installing the os into the grub
• xorriso so the digital disc file (.iso) can be generated

(note) : grub-legacy is unavailable but grub-common or grub2 will work fine
