* Introduction
|
|
|
|
These are the sources for the ReactOS kernel, system libraries and
|
|
applications. ReactOS is the beginnings of a free clone of Windows NT
|
|
(aiming at version 4 right now). ReactOS isn't usuable for anything but
|
|
further development, please don't uninstall your existing OSs just yet.
|
|
|
|
* Compilation
|
|
|
|
ReactOS currently only compiles using the djgpp compiler for DOS (or a djgpp
|
|
cross compiler with some fiddling). This will change in the near future to
|
|
using the mingw32 compiler. It also needs the NASM assembler installed.
|
|
To compile
|
|
|
|
1) copy libgcc.a from the djgpp distribution to the ntoskrnl directory
|
|
2) make
|
|
|
|
* Installation
|
|
|
|
By default ReactOS tries to execute 'c:\reactos\system\shell.bin' on
|
|
startup, if you want to see a user program running, copy either
|
|
'apps\hello\hello.bin' or 'apps\shell\shell.bin' to
|
|
'c:\reactos\system\shell.bin'. 'hello.bin' will write 'hello world' to the
|
|
console, 'shell.bin' will allow you to enter simple commands including
|
|
'dir', 'cd' and to execute additional processes e.g. 'hello.bin'.
|
|
|
|
* Running
|
|
|
|
Type 'boot.bat' from this directory. ReactOS won't start if a DPMI or VCPI
|
|
program is running e.g. Windows or EMM386.
