Metta is a multimedia, mobile, social OS.
-----------------------------------------
My goal is to make Metta the platform for social, efficient and fun life on the internet. I call such internet egocentric, because it revolves around your needs and desires.
Be free!
-----------------------------------------
== To build Metta ==
0. Check out the sources following the procedure on the http://metta.exquance.com/wiki/SourceCheckout:
$ mkdir Metta/branches
$ cd Metta/branches
$ bzr init-repo .
$ bzr branch http://metta.exquance.com/bzr master
Sources will be checked out into branch "master" under "Metta/branches". The reason for having this deep directory structure is toolchain builder will create toolchain directory under Metta, shared by all branches. init-repo in branches also helps reduce overhead of branching in this directory.
1. Install yasm assembler, 'brew install yasm' for example.
2. Generate a toolchain.
$ cd Metta
$ sh branches/master/build_toolchain.sh
This is going to take a while.
If you're unable to build toolchain locally and are on a Lion Mac, download prebuilt one and unpack it.
$ cd Metta
$ wget http://downloads.exquance.com/toolchain-x86_64-darwin.tar.bz2
$ tar xf toolchain-x86_64-darwin.tar.bz2
3. Build Metta
$ cd Metta/branches/master/src
$ ./waf
4. After successful build run emulator software to try out Metta.
src directory is preconfigured for using Bochs, so you can simply type:
$ bochs -q
-----------------------------------------
You are free to contribute and remember: if you don't, somebody else will!
