h2. Build notes
In the commands, @fmios-build@ denotes the directory (in the current directory) in which to place the sources and which can be chosen freely. But there's also a little intricateness: You have to have write access to /var/tmp to build (and no vsta-root subdirectory already there), unless you want to edit a build configuration file (precisely, it's make/vsta.mk relative to the directory in which you placed the sources, there the PREFIX setting has to be changed to the (I call it "extra-build") directory to use during the build). The build has only been fully tested with gcc 3.4 and GNU Make 3.80, but that should be it. The command sequence is:
tla register-archive 'mabri@freesw.tropicside.org--fmios' 'http://amatus.g-cipher.net/~mabri/archives/mabri@freesw.tropicside.org--fmios/' tla get -A 'mabri@freesw.tropicside.org--fmios' 'dists--devel--1.0' fmios-build cd fmios-build tla build-config configs/mabri make install 2>&1 | your-favourite-pager
After that, the FMI/OS kernel is the file vsta in the kernel subdirectory of the current directory. All installed files can be found in subdirectories under the @vsta-root@ one in the "extra-build" directory (/var/tmp by default). To install and boot FMI/OS, please confer UserDocs/HowToInstall (note that the @vsta-root@ directory is called @rootfs@ there). Please comment on how you get along with this tutorial and feel free to ask here or in the IRC channel #FMIOS on the Freenode network if you have any questions or problems.
