# swerve
A suckless-inspired Unix-like monolithic kernel originally designed for i386
machines. This is a work in progress. Please don't run this on real hardware.
I take no responsibility for damages caused by swerve (the code is licensed
with no warranty).
## Principles
1. The program should be **free software**.
2. The program should be as **efficient** as possible.
3. The program should be as **legible** as possible.
4. The program should be as **small** as possible.
## Prerequisites for building
* [GNU Binutils cross-compiled for
swerve](https://gitlab.com/swegbun/swerve-binutils)
* [GCC cross-compiled for swerve](https://gitlab.com/swegbun/swerve-gcc)
* GNU Make
* A POSIX shell (`dash`, `bash`, ...)
## Prerequisites for making a GRUB image
* fdisk (from util-linux)
* GNU GRUB
## Building
1. Edit `config.mk` to your liking
2. Run `make -j2` (note: you should change 2 to the number of processor threads
you have)
## Run in QEMU
1. Run `make run-qemu`
## Build GRUB image
1. Run `make grub-image`
