Hello, guys.

I am new to these forums so i hope to have a good time here =)
But as most newcommers i have a question.
I have found a opensource operating system which i would really like to compile.
But i cannot get it to compile under windows can someone please help me?
I have installed make for windows but then it gives me some strange errors.
And i also do not know which toolset i need to compile it but there are no instructions included with it.
I am talking about this operating system: http://www.rangos.de/

-Thanks in advance

You are going to need something called "Cygwin". Install at the least make, bash, unzip, gcc. Now open a Cygwin shell and do "mkdir lifeos;cd lifeos" (no quotes and exact), extract the archive using "unzip os-archive" (no quotes, os-archive replaced with the path to the OS source code). cd into the directory using cd <directory>, where <directory> is the directory that was extracted. Now do a make.

Thank you very much im going to try it right away.

EDIT:
Well. it worked until i got a error that it could not find shell/font.c after some searching it appears not to be included
Does someone else has a copy of this open source os which has the file included?

No, but you could try to contact the author, of course. Although he seems a bit of a shady character, hacking into CIA sites.
