I face build failures both on master and legacy branches. Finally I successed to build and open Desktop Environment but just in case I want to write here.

First error was about example-fs-driver.cpp which tells there is no a few implementation. (I don't yet understand underlying concept)

Second there are a lot of Case-sensitive problems, (upper-case filenames) which doesn't seem to have on disk. I mean, in headers I see Logger.hpp but in filesystem there is not logger.hpp So this gives error on linux distrubitions. I guess Mr. Max you are using MacOS which (I am not sure but) mac is not case-sensitive.

I fixed all Uppercase filenames, also try to not build example-fs-driver.cpp. But when I open qemu there is "Boot failed: could not read the boot disk." Even so the operation system has loaded, and then I've gone to application folder to run windowserver.bin but there are problems such as keyboard doesn't work etc.

I am so excited to dive into ghost kernel, but we need stable version =)

Thank you so much Mr. Max for your politeness your sharing and for everything.

I'm wanted test your operating system on my physical computer. I'm flashed your demo ISO but when I'm booting the Ghost Kernel is freezed at boot logo & fully not functional.
There is an example photo:

Thank you.

The link is a 404 on the wiki

Hello, when I'm compiling your operating system I'm getting this error:
"./applications.sh: 12: ../../ghost.sh: Bad substitution"
I can't install toolchain on my computer. Because giving an "Building Failed" error. I'm using the Ubuntu Server 18.04. I'm tried another on the linux distro (Pardus 17) on VM but same error. My installed compilers gcc, g++, binutils (latest version). Thank you.

I'm try run it on VMware Fusion,but it didn't working
Is it need an filesystem on harddisk?

Please somebody help me build ghost OS and also meetix os

Hey, can you please make it NASM-friendly?
I dont like Mac-like and Linux-like shells.

While building getting this error:

/ghost/source/libuser$ ./build.sh all
./build.sh: 12: ../ghost.sh: Bad substitution

I am trying to run your Ghost OS 0.5.3 on VMWare WorkStation 12 Player, but it freezes at the "read README" shell.

Thank you for addressing this issue, if addressed.

The OS successfully boots into the terminal fine, but I can't type anything! I'm using Virtual box with IO/Apic enabled and 256 MB of RAM.

EDIT: Never mind, wasn't giving it enough memory apparently.

Yoy should probably add hg to gitignore

How do i run GhostOS from source code? i am having a lot of trouble running it

Pressing backspace allows me to delete past what I previously input after getting a runtime error in js.bin
I run js.bin, type something that has a syntax error, and press enter.
After the red error text appears, I press backspace and can delete all the text in the terminal

The toolchain builder script fails when tries to link the shared libgcc due to a missing libc and crts.
You should compile the static version of the C library and the crts between the gcc and the libgcc build.

keep it up Max!!

Why do you use shell scripts when you can also use Makefiles? I think that Makefiles make things much easier. You can just make the rules so that it compiles correctly.

Please tell me how can I write drivers for Ghost OS and in which languages can I write Drivers. Is it important to use c++ or I can use c or any other language also.

Can't build zlib-1.2.8. Always getting this error:

Hi Max!

When you launch a program from the terminal the cursor moves back to the line after the one where you typed the command.

Then the following characters typed are overlapped to the previous output

Hello, the mouse reacts late while I use your operating system. This is one of the things I never liked. Thank you ... Cyber Saturn

Hi Max,
instead of implement a custom syscall for obtaining info from the kernel, the kernel could expose a ProcFS-like filesystem where the files herein contains the desired information

I've followed the instructions and when I run ./build.sh the following errors are produced:

Currently just a single page is allocated in taskingMemoryCreateStacks. This is what causes the window server to die while calling Cairo, as a lot of calls are happening.

This should be improved so that a range of virtual memory is pre-allocated but not filled with physical pages, including a guard page on the very bottom of the stack. The stack structure in the task should memorize the number of already allocated pages or maybe a simple allocate-on-write is sufficient as long as within the stack range and not on the guard page.

Allocation of pages would then look like this from start to end:
X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
On page-fault, the stack is to be extended accordingly:
X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1
If the limit is reached, access to the guard-page should terminate the process with a SIGSEGV.
X 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1

I was enjoying the CLI , in short period of time the OS itself stop of working, with not reason. I was running on virtualbox.

I tried to build everythin with the build scripts but only get the error
toolchain.sh:
./toolchain.sh: 2: /usr/bin/sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

ghost.sh:
./build.sh: 7: ./ghost.sh: [[: not found
./build.sh: 132: ./ghost.sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected (expecting "}")

Can someone help?

When i tried to boot Ghost OS, i just get error : "No RAM disk".
Even my OS don't must to have RAM disk. Should implement that as warning.

Hi, good morning.
I'm a little programmer and i have a problem...
On Linux Mint 18 Cinnamon (64 bit) i tried to build cairo library, first with your custom compiler, but the compiling fail.
i tried with standard g++/gcc (32 bit) and the compiling finish successfull, but linking with windows server don't work, errors (linking time)
are hundreds, all of missing part of cairo library... O.o
i tried all roads, but nothing...help me, please

I did everything as suggested, without skipping anything crucial and got these messages:

• Many of these: build.sh: 12: ../ghost.sh: Bad substitution
• Terminal output: // only the important part, everything else is OK
  Building GCC
  Configuration
  Build failed
• configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.2+, MPFR 2.4.0+ and MPC 0.8.0+.

My operating system:

• Linux Ubuntu 16.04

In Hyper-V, for some reason even though the MADT reports the IO/APIC to be present at 0xFEC00000, a GPF occurs when writing to the REGSEL MMIO register. This causes a kernel panic.

It could be useful to have automatic builds of the dev branch built by Github actions. I will look into this myself later this week.

After I built all. I noticed tetris app in applications is not a real tetris. It does't make much sence to operating system development, but I tried to implement it. It turn out quite playable. I made gui contorls, because keyboard working a little strange and not always in time.

I'm using a default US keyboard layout. When typing in the terminal, it appears to be using the UK keyboard layout. Shift+2 prints " and ? and _ are swapped, etc.
