Hugo4OS

Me just experimenting with OS development in rust

Build dependencies

Cargo should automatically detect all necessary components by checking rust-toolchain.toml, but you still need just to use the build system:

cargo install just

If Cargo didn't correctly install all components automatically, you can install them manually:

• Minimum supported rustc: 1.61.0-nightly (I use nightly-2022-04-02 as configured in rust-toolchain.toml).
• LLVM tools also need to be installed and available in PATH: rustup component add llvm-tools-preview
• rust-src is also needed: rustup component add rust-src

Usage

To enable verbose output in the terminal, append --features verbose to any of these commands.

Building and running with the resulting image in Qemu:

just run

Big thanks to Philipp Oppermann, his blog is what inspired me, and got Hugo4OS up and running.
