# i386-elf-toolchain tap

![GCC toolchain for i386]

This tap provides Homebrew formulas to build a suitable compiler for the

i386-elf toolchain, which is useful to build 32 bit freestanding

applications such as kernels using the GNU toolchain.

The formulas in this repo are based in the instructions that at some

point were provided by the [OSDev wiki]. The page has changed in these

years, but as long as the instructions continue working, I will not

probably update the compile flags unless there is some benefit.

I test this tap in macOS and Linux.

## Disclaimer

There is a real formula for GNU GRUB in this repo. The purpose of this

formula is to make easier to install GRUB on a Mac in order to author

ISO files containing kernel images and bootloaders, or virtual hard

drives or IMG files. **BE CAREFUL WITH THIS**, you don't want to

accidentaly wipe your host bootloader with this.

These formulaes are provided here for utility reasons in the hope that

they are useful to people playing with operating systems and kernel

development, but they come with no warranties. I'm not responsible on

whatever you do with these formulaes. Always check the contents of a

formula before installing it.
