Installation & Setup

To develop TilekarOS, you need a cross-compilation environment for i386.

1. Prerequisites (Ubuntu/Debian)

Install the necessary build tools and emulators:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential cmake nasm qemu-system-x86 grub-pc-bin xorriso mtools python3 clang lld

2. Recommended IDE

We recommend using VS Code or Zed with the following extensions: - Clangd: For C/C++ intellisense and cross-compilation support. - ASM-LSP: For NASM syntax highlighting and completions.

The project root contains a compile_flags.txt and .clangd file which are automatically generated to help your editor understand the kernel headers.

3. Cloning the Repository

git clone https://github.com/your-repo/TilekarOS.git
cd TilekarOS

4. First Build

make configure
make iso
make run_iso
