void-os

Operating system made with c23, using the limine bootloader.

Requirements

To build and emulate the OS, you will need a Unix-like environment (Linux, macOS, or WSL) with the following tools installed:

Core Build Tools

• make: GNU Make for executing the build system.
• nasm: The Netwide Assembler, used for compiling raw assembly files.
• x86_64-elf-gcc: The cross-compiler used to build the C kernel, without linking to host OS or standard library.
• xorriso: Required to pack the compiled kernel and Limine bootloader into a bootable .iso image.

Emulation

• qemu-system-x86_64: The QEMU emulator used to test the OS without flashing it to physical hardware.

Installation Commands

macOS (via Homebrew)

brew install make nasm x86_64-elf-gcc xorriso qemu

Building

make run
