Lunaris

The light of the moon

What is Lunaris?
Lunaris is a UNIX-like kernel that is written completely in C.
Lunaris takes inspiration from Linux, and the Fiwix kernel.

Lunaris might just be the new Linux 👀 (if it weren't so unstable)

Compiling the Lunaris kernel

To compile the Lunaris kernel, you need to install the following:

• Unix-like system / environment
• Binutils
• NASM
• GCC
• grub-mkrescue (needed for creating ISO image)

After installing, run 'make', and the kernel image will be built.
To get kernel symbols working, go into any file of the C source files, make a small change, then revert the change, and recompile.
This should allow kernel symbols to be used in the kernel.

How to run Lunaris

To emulate Lunaris, run 'make grub' to update the disk with the compiled kernel. After, run 'make qemu'.

Compiling the user-space binaries

To compile the user-space binaries, go to /user/libc, and run 'make'.
