woodOS represents a basic operating system for i386
At the moment it exists purely for educational purposes, but it might evolve.
All the resources presented below, as well as any other information / explanation of how this operating system works is available on the wiki page of the repository.

Since the OS is for x86, you need a cross-compiler. See here for info on how to cross-compile gcc and ld
First you should install the necessary dependencies: sudo apt-get install nasm bochs qemu qemu-system-i386
For building the project, it is enough to issue the command make in the root directory of the project
Debugging is possible either via Bochs internal debugger (usually in the Bootloader phase) or via GDB.
For GDB, simply run gdb in the root directory.
For Bochs, run ./bochs.sh
Running is possible either in QEMU (via ./qemu.sh) or in Bochs (./bochs.sh)
At the moment, the project has no other contributors than me. If you want to take part, send me a message and I will add you to the contributors team.
