## SerenityOS build instructions
### Prerequisites
#### Linux prerequisites
Make sure you have all the dependencies installed:
**Debian / Ubuntu**
```bash
sudo apt install build-essential cmake curl libmpfr-dev libmpc-dev libgmp-dev e2fsprogs qemu-system-i386 qemu-utils
```
**Fedora**
```bash
sudo dnf install curl cmake mpfr-devel libmpc-devel gmp-devel e2fsprogs @"C Development Tools and Libraries" @Virtualization
```
**openSUSE**
```bash
sudo zypper install curl cmake mpfr-devel mpc-devel gmp-devel e2fsprogs patch qemu-x86 qemu-audio-pa gcc gcc-c++ patterns-devel-C-C++-devel_C_C++
```
**Arch Linux / Manjaro**
```bash
sudo pacman -S --needed base-devel cmake curl mpfr libmpc gmp e2fsprogs qemu qemu-arch-extra
```
**ALT Linux**
```bash
apt-get install curl cmake libmpc-devel gmp-devel e2fsprogs libmpfr-devel patch gcc
```
Ensure your gcc version is >= 10 with `gcc --version`. Otherwise, install it.
On Ubuntu it's in the repositories of 20.04 (Focal) - add the `ubuntu-toolchain-r/test` PPA if you're running an older version:
```bash
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
```
On Debian you can use the Debian testing branch:
```bash
sudo echo "deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ testing non-free contrib main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
```
Now on Ubuntu or Debian you can install gcc-10 with apt like this:
```bash
sudo apt install gcc-10 g++-10
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-10 900 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-10
```
If you don't want to stay on the testing branch you can switch back by running:
```bash
sudo sed -i '$d' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt update
```
Ensure your CMake version is >= 3.16 with `cmake --version`. If your system doesn't provide a suitable version of CMake, you can download a binary release from the [CMake website](https://cmake.org/download).
#### macOS prerequisites
Make sure you have all the dependencies installed:
```bash
brew install coreutils qemu e2fsprogs m4 autoconf libtool automake bash gcc@10
brew cask install osxfuse
Toolchain/BuildFuseExt2.sh
```
Notes:
- fuse-ext2 is not available as brew formula so it must be installed using `BuildFuseExt2.sh`
- Xcode and `xcode-tools` must be installed (`git` is required by some scripts)
- coreutils is needed to build gcc cross compiler
- qemu is needed to run the compiled OS image. You can also build it using the `BuildQemu.sh` script
- osxfuse, e2fsprogs, m4, autoconf, automake, libtool and `BuildFuseExt2.sh` are needed if you want to build the root filesystem disk image natively on macOS. This allows mounting an EXT2 fs and also installs commands like `mke2fs` that are not available on stock macOS.
- bash is needed because the default version installed on macOS doesn't support globstar
- If you install some commercial EXT2 macOS fs handler instead of osxfuse and fuse-ext2, you will need to `brew install e2fsprogs` to obtain `mke2fs` anyway.
- As of 2020-08-06, you might need to tell the build system about your newer host compiler. Once you've built the toolchain, navigate to `Build/`, `rm -rf *`, then run `cmake .. -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=gcc-10 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=g++-10`, then continue with `make install` as usual.
#### OpenBSD prerequisites
```
pkg_add bash gmp gcc git gmake sudo
```
#### FreeBSD prerequisites
```
$ pkg add coreutils gmake bash sudo git
```
#### Windows
For Windows, you will require Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2). [Follow the WSL2 instructions here.](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/NotesOnWSL.md)
Do note the ```Hardware acceleration``` and ```Note on filesystems``` sections, otherwise performance will be terrible.
Once you have installed a distro for WSL2, follow the Linux prerequisites above for the distro you installed, then continue as normal.
### Build
Go into the `Toolchain/` directory and run the **BuildIt.sh** script:
```bash
$ cd Toolchain
$ ./BuildIt.sh
```
Building the toolchain will also automatically create a `Build/` directory for the build to live in, and build cmake inside that directory.
Once the toolchain and cmake have been built, go into the `Build/` directory and run the `make` and `make install` commands:
```bash
$ cd ..
$ cd Build
$ cmake ..
$ make
$ make install
```
This will compile all of SerenityOS and install the built files into `Root/` inside the build tree. `make install` actually pulls in the regular `make` (`make all`) automatically, so there isn't really a need to run it explicitly. You may also want ask `make` to build things in parallel by using `-j`, optionally specifying the maximum number of jobs to run.
Now to build a disk image, run `make image`, and if nothing breaks too much, take it for a spin by using `make run`.
```bash
$ make image
$ make run
```
Note that the `anon` user is able to become `root` without password by default, as a development convenience.
To prevent this, remove `anon` from the `wheel` group and he will no longer be able to run `/bin/su`.
On Linux, QEMU is significantly faster if it's able to use KVM. The run script will automatically enable KVM if `/dev/kvm` exists and is readable+writable by the current user.
Bare curious users may even consider sourcing suitable hardware to [install Serenity on a physical PC.](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/INSTALL.md)
Outside of QEMU, Serenity will run on VirtualBox. If you're curious, see how to [install Serenity on VirtualBox.](https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity/blob/master/Documentation/VirtualBox.md)
Later on, when you `git pull` to get the latest changes, there's no need to rebuild the toolchain. You can simply run `make install`, `make image`, `make run` again. CMake will only rebuild those parts that have been updated.
#### Faster than make: "Ninja"
You may also want to replace `make` with `ninja` in the above commands for some additional build speed benefits, like reduced double-building of headers.
Most of the process stays the same:
- Go to an empty directory at the root (e.g. `Build/`) and call `cmake .. -G Ninja` inside that directory
- You might either create a new directory or reuse the existing `Build` directory after cleaning it.
- `make` becomes `ninja`
- `make install` becomes `ninja install`
- `make image` becomes `ninja image`
- `make run` becomes `ninja run`
Note that ninja automatically chooses a sane value for `-j` automatically, and if something goes wrong it will print the full compiler invocation. Otherwise, `ninja` behaves just like `make`. (And is a tad faster.)
#### Ports
To add a package from the ports collection to Serenity, for example curl, go into `Ports/curl/` and run **./package.sh**. The sourcecode for the package will be downloaded and the package will be built. After that, run **make image** from the `Build/` directory to update the disk image. The next time you start Serenity with **make run**, `curl` will be available.
