building

dérive is not fun to build. we reccomend you download an ISO from our website instead. if you want too anyway:

requires:

• linux host
• wget, tar, gzip, xz
• cc, make, binutils
• git

you will need various other build dependencies too. i will try and compile a proper list later

build commands:

./build.sh

clean ur builds:

./build.sh --clean # remove outputs, keep src/ cache
./build.sh --halfclean # same as make clean, but keeps llvm so you dont have to go through that again
./build.sh --distclean # remove everything including downloads
./build.sh --kernelclean # remove kernel

after a build, you will get a tarball and iso in out/ ; the login is 'root' password 'derive'
