libkernaux

Auxiliary library for kernel development.

Tips

Configure with cross-compiler in $PATH to make without it in $PATH:

./configure \
  --host=i686-elf \
  AR="$(which i686-elf-ar)" \
  CC="$(which i686-elf-gcc)" \
  RANLIB="$(which i686-elf-ranlib)" \
  CFLAGS='-std=gnu99 -ffreestanding -nostdinc -nostdlib -fno-builtin -fno-stack-protector -Wall -Wextra'

Check if compilation targets i386: objdump -d src/arch/i386.o.

It should output something like this:

src/arch/i386.o:     file format elf32-i386
