This is my own OS ! And it's written in Rust because I use Rust btw. There's pretty much no chance it builds in another environnement than Linux but I've never actually tried, but that's what docker is for so yeah.

I'm following this tutorial but changed a few things along the way. EDIT : I'm not following this anymore, I deviated way too much

Features

It boots on UEFI so too bad for the three BIOS users out there
It only supports 32 bpp framebuffers for now (so 4 bytes per pixel)
x86_64 only because I'm not a masochist (at least not for the foreseeable future)

Installation

To build the project and obtain the kernel binary, run cargo build. The kernel binary will be located at target/x86_64-abosbel-none/release/ab-os-bel in release mode or target/x86_64-abosbel-none/debug/ab-os-bel in debug mode.

To both build and run the project, use cargo run. This will create an .iso file located at target/ab-os-bel.iso and attempt to launch the OS in QEMU. If QEMU is not installed, the OS won't run, but the .iso will still be generated. Also the kernel will be copied to target/ab-os-bel for convenience.

Note: Ensure you have rustup and cargo installed with the nightly toolchain, along with QEMU for running the OS, the libisoburn library and the mtools package to create the iso. Note 2: Don't bother with install.sh, it will just work on my machine

Running with Docker

If you prefer to use Docker for building and testing the project, for example if you don't use linux, you can do so. You first have to install docker if you don't have it (Docker's official website).

Then you can build the docker image and run it with the following command (or do whatever you want, idk) :

docker build -t ab_os_bel . && docker run -it --rm ab_os_bel

You will be dropped in a shell inside the docker container and you can run the commands described above. If you want to have a graphical environnement then set it up yourself because it's plateform dependant.
