You will need to have a "binary" directory in the kernel subdirectory. I haven't added it to SVN because for me it's full of binary files I don't want to add to the repository. I'll update the SVN later with the binary directory (but not every single file).

Also, you need to establish your own method to build a disk image - I haven't found a cross-platform way to do it. I was working for a little bit on a Linux shell script that'd do it for me but that would lock Mattise compiles into only Linux systems with losetup.

Thanks. for building Image, i'm thinking of a simple .bat that copies kernel compiled output to A:\ (Which means A:\ is pre-setup with GRUB :) )

That's what I do :)

You'll also want to take a RAMFS binary from one of my uploaded images so you can actually run the kernel. As yet I haven't figured out the most portable way to get ramdisks created (currently 'mrdc', the ramdisk creator, is a Windows program - though I have ported it to Linux [lost it now :(]) and the build system is soon going through some changes to make it more portable.

Nah, I think VFD is rather simpler.

I also use VFD for my Windows testing, but it makes it hard for those on Linux to compile straight out of the box (which is the ultimate goal for my build system).
