Anyone needs a geek's hand?

[Adek336]

Sure you do. ;D After rewriting panaLiX due to design limitations, and havin' a unpatchable bug which used to overwrite preciouss kernel data- duh- I felt I had better means of spending time than writing it from scratch.

But, after those two osdevingless months, the hunger struck me. ::) So, well, I think I could be of help to someone else's project.. I would be very grateful if someone let me grab his code

I think I would be most pleased to work with someone with a simillar programming skill as me.. so here I write about panaLiX, to tell the world what, actually, I am able to code.

Panalix, 32bit x86 system, C++, gcc, kdevelop (as the editor). GRUBbed. Paging, many memory spaces. A primitive ELF linker builds a list of kernel and modules symbols, then links. Simple virtual console routines work. VFS able to mount a floppy driver(damn fdc's such a pain in the neck to program). Oh my, it's so hard to describe a program... go check http://adek336.prv.pl/p0.05-270204.tgz for the latest working version. The 0.06 branch, rewritten and microkernel in design crashes.

I would be happy to do stresstesting, small/big bug hunting, commenting, writing simple code (quick sort), more complex code (a vfs module) for anyone, who would.. take me in

Cheers..
I won't let you down

well, a geek's hand would be welcome at Clicker. I still have no floppy driver, for instance ... Whyme_t also offered his help for PCI enumeration but i have no news of him recently, so if you want to make your own enumerator it could help programming video, sound and network cards later

[Adek336]

hurray ;D I have to check what PCI enumeration is.
And, I'm having some hard times compiling Clicker I'll keep trying.

Cheers,
Adrian

you're welcome for a compile-session-help on ICQ, by PM or by mail
I'll try to collect all interresting information in the WiClicker (http://clicker.sourceforge.net/wiclicke ... UnderLinux)

@Pype: actually i've been thinking o fworking sometime soon on clicker myself. The main reason being i want to try out a microkernel. Not right now though i'm busy, but it would be helpful if you gave a list of whats needed to get it working (compiler etc..) or is it already available? and other related info

[Pype.Clicker]

For windows user, you can use whyme_t's source installer which should also get all the tools you need (DjGpp, nasm, perl, all in the expected version)

For linux users, i'm working on the same kind of 'requirements list' in the wiclicker...
