Building

Download this project's source.

git clone https://github.com/nakst/essence.git

Start the build system.

./start.sh

Follow the on-screen instructions to build a cross compiler.

You can then run the build system again to build the operating system, and test it in an emulator. If you have Qemu installed, try the command t2. If you have VirtualBox installed, make a 128MB drive called vbox.vdi in the essence folder, and try the command v for a much smoother experience than in Qemu.

Warning: This software is still in development. Expect bugs!
