README
Metta is a multimedia, mobile, social OS
========================================
[](https://gitter.im/metta-systems/metta?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
My goal is to make Metta the platform for social, efficient and fun life on the internet. I call such internet egocentric, because it revolves around your needs and desires. See a more detailed description at https://metta.systems.
Be free!

-----------------------------------------
To build Metta
==============
* Check out the sources:
```
$ mkdir Metta; cd Metta
$ git clone https://github.com/metta-systems/metta.git develop
$ cd develop; git checkout develop
```
Sources will be checked out into branch "develop" under "Metta". This extra umbrella directory is needed because toolchain builder will create Metta/toolchain for the local toolchain it builds.
* Install dependencies
* yasm assembler, `brew install yasm` for example.
* boost, `brew install boost`
* OSSP UUID implementation, `brew install ossp-uuid`
* up-to-date openssl, `brew install openssl`
* cdrtools (for mkisofs), `brew install cdrtools`
* cmake, `brew install cmake`
* ninja, `brew install ninja`
* bochs emulator, `brew install bochs`
All dependencies in one command:
```
$ brew install yasm boost ossp-uuid openssl cdrtools cmake ninja bochs
```
* Generate a toolchain.
```
$ cd Metta
$ sh develop/build_toolchain.sh
```
This is going to take a while.
If you're unable to build toolchain locally and are on a (post-) Lion Mac, download prebuilt one and unpack it.
```
$ cd Metta
$ wget https://r.metta.systems/downloads/toolchain-x86_64-darwin.tar.bz2
$ tar xf toolchain-x86_64-darwin.tar.bz2
```
* Build Metta
```
$ cd Metta/develop/src
$ sh buildit.sh
```
* After successful build run emulator software to try out Metta.
src directory is preconfigured for using Bochs, so you can simply type:
```
$ bochs -q
```
