Easier Scripts #55

Closed ghost closed 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Made some changes to the build scripts here.

Mainly, I renamed build_x86-64.sh to build_kernel.sh. I think it reflects better what the script is doing, alongside the recent addition of build_api.sh. You can specify the architecture with the -a or --arch option. This will make it easier when working on another architecture, because we won't have to add another build script for it. For example:

./build_kernel.sh -a x86-64
./build_kernel.sh -a riscv64

The default architecture is x86-64, so in that case you just have to do this:

./build_kernel.sh

I also added the install-*.sh scripts. This is because I think it is better for this repository to decide what files get installed, instead of the BareMetal OS repository.

Overall, I don't actually think these scripts are easier (or harder) than the other scripts. But adding the options seemed like the right way to go. I've also added the -h and --help options to most of the commands I added. For example, install_kernel.sh prints this:

Options
    -h, --help      : Print this help message.
    -a, --arch ARCH : Install the kernel of the specified architecture.
    -p, --path PATH : Install kernel files to specified path.

And install_api.sh prints this:

Options
    -h, --help               : Print this help message.
    -i, --include_path PATH  : Install header to specified path.
    -l, --library_path PATH  : Install library to specified path.
