Hello everybody.
We have released a new version of our operating system OSSO. You can find it here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=653278
Changelogs and release notes here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownote ... up_id=5996
We are looking for new developers to join the project. Our major objective is to go multiarch and port to the ARM platform (in particular the Openmok Neo1973 device).
You can find me for more information at alessandro dot iurlano at gmail dot com or on #osso on Freenode.

OSSO Microkernel. New version 0.0.6 released. Help wanted
Re: OSSO Microkernel. New version 0.0.6 released. Help wanted
Hi,
Any chance of a precompiled binary (preferably on a bootable image)? I've seen the screenies and it looks like it has been nicely tested by you, so I'd be interested in having a look. Problem is, it seems to use bcc and make complains about not being able to find wish and tixwish.
Cheers,
Adam

Hello!
Thanks for looking into this!
You can find a precompiled iso here: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile ... _id=652761
It has been compiled with output on the serial port, thus it has to be enabled on the emulator you are using (for example: qemu -serial stdio -cdrom osso.iso).
As for the problems you reported:
bcc should be no longer nedded. It is needed to compile the 16 bit bootloader we made but we recently switched to grub. But I have not tested it on a system with no bcc installed, so maybe the makefiles still compile the 16bit boot loader even if it is not needed. I did not do this part myself, so I'll have to look at it and will do.
About wish and tixwish, again they should not be needed anymore. It is the old os configuration system that is now deprecated. Make config is the way to go. It will require QT dev package because it is a QT4 based program. If you don't have, there is the createconfig command that reads the XML files and create the configuration that should provide an usable alternative.
Please don't hesitate to write me if you need more info or find some more problems.
Thanks,
Alessandro

First impressions: very robust and well though out (VPC2004)!
I couldn't crash the shell (I could make it page fault, but it recovered nicely) and all your command-line tools have a help command built in.
I'll carry on attempting to crash it later
