i wasn't even aware that you could compile something in C# that can run without the Windows API! i haven't really used it, but that surprises me. how do you go about writing a kernel in C#??rootnode wrote:I should add that the Kernel is written in C#.

Normally you can't compile C# to anything that can run without the windows API or mono runtime. But we're writing our own compiler to AOT C# code to machine code. We're then booting the kernel and the plan is to later, as soon as we're capable to compile the compiler with itself, we'll use the compiler as a VM to run drivers and applications. So the compiler is able to run as an AOT and JIT at the same time.miker00lz wrote:i wasn't even aware that you could compile something in C# that can run without the Windows API! i haven't really used it, but that surprises me. how do you go about writing a kernel in C#??rootnode wrote:I should add that the Kernel is written in C#.

VERY nice! that looks sweet, good job.piranha wrote:Big moment for me, I finally got pcc working on my OS! Basically, I am waaayyy too happy. I already had ld, as, newlib, etc ported, so I put the appropriate file on the hd image, and gave it a shot (actually, many shots to work out a couple bugs):

that's pretty interesting, and good job. must be the first C# kernel ever.rootnode wrote:Normally you can't compile C# to anything that can run without the windows API or mono runtime.

if you ever decide to release the source to your compiler alone, a lot of people would love that.
There [is/was] SharpOS, EnsembleOS, CosmOS. All with the same goal, but all lacking a decent compiler to do so. So we created the MOSA Project to provide all projects with a common basis. 
Does that mean you're self-hosting?piranha wrote:Big moment for me, I finally got pcc working on my OS!
Once I port nasm, make, bash, tar, and get pcc to compile my kernel (I don't know if it will), then yes it would seem very very close. Porting nasm doesn't seem too hard, nor does make. I need to have termios in place for bash I believe, and I don't know anything about tar. But yes, self-hosting is within sight!Solar wrote: Does that mean you're self-hosting?
Congratulations! I guess I'll be a boy forever...piranha wrote:But yes, self-hosting is within sight!
