*** Colonel ***
===============
This is a small OS project I'm working on. It's slow progress and
probably shouldn't be run anywhere except in an emulator. It currently
supports the following architectures:
- x86
# Compiling
-----------
You'll want to setup a cross-compilation toolchain with GCC
(https://gcc.gnu.org/) for your target architecture, along with
GNU Make (https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) (I'll switch to the
GNU autotools as soon as I can get them to work properly).
To compile a full image you can run `make build-iso`, which will use
GNU GRUB (https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/) as the bootloader. Else,
just run `make` and it will build the kernel into a file called
`colonel.bin`. You can run the latter with QEMU (https://www.qemu.org/)
by using the `-kernel` option.
