Quark Kernel

Quark Kernel is a hobbyist OS kernel mainly indended to be a challenging side-project.

Building

You will need:

• A cross-compiler
• GNU Autotools

To build the kernel for the x86 platform, run:

• autoreconf -i
• ./configure --host=i686-elf CFLAGS=-ffreestanding LDFLAGS=-nostdlib
• make

To generate a bootable disk image, run:

• make quark.iso

So far this code has only been tested to compile using GCC. Some modifications might be necessary to build this project using other compilers. For a guide on building a cross-compiler, see the article on osdev.org.
