Building the ES operating system for x86 PC

Once your development environment and support libraries are set up correctly, you can build the ES operating system for x86 PC.

In the following steps, we will use the ES cross libraries in '/opt/es'. If you have set up them in the other place, please modify you --prefix and other options accordingly.

ES operating system for PC

$ mkdir pc
$ cd pc
$ CFLAGS=-g CXXFLAGS=-g ../trunk/configure --prefix=/opt/es --host=i386-pc-es --target=i386-pc-es
$ make

Squeak port for ES

You can execute Squeak on ES. To build Squeak port for ES, please execute the following steps:

$ cd cmd
$ mkdir squeak-3.7.1
$ cd squeak-3.7.1
$ CFLAGS=-g CXXFLAGS=-g ../../../trunk/cmd/squeak-3.7.1/configure --prefix=/opt/es --host=i386-pc-es --target=i386-pc-es
$ make
$ cd ../../../trunk/cmd/squeak-3.7.1/
$ wget http://ftp.squeak.org/3.7/Squeak3.7-5989-full.zip
$ unzip Squeak3.7-5989-full.zip
$ wget http://ftp.squeak.org/3.7/SqueakV3.sources.gz
$ gunzip SqueakV3.sources.gz
$ cd ../..

ES boot disk image for PC

To generate a disk image that can be used with QEMU, execute the script named es in the init directory.

$ cd init
$ ./es

The resulting file, named fat32.img, is a bootable ES operating system disk image. Boot the ES operating system on QEMU:

$ qemu -hda fat32.img -serial stdio -soundhw sb16

Note: Depends on the operating systems and/or the qemu versions, you may need to specify dummy CD ROM image by specifying -cdrom dummy.iso option to qemu.

Note: If you are using Ubuntu 7.10, please add the -net none option to run ES on QEMU as below:

$ qemu -hda fat32.img -serial stdio -soundhw sb16 -net none

QEMU 0.9.0 comes with Ubuntu 7.10 seems to have a problem with the RTL8029AS Ethernet controller emulation.
