Single task 16-bit DOS-like operating system

nameless-OS16

How build & start?

Load repository, download qemu, make, mkisofs and nasm, go to directory of project and input "sudo make run". Sorry, build exist now only for linux.

Philosophy

Write on assembly and feel pain.

For what?

Killing time. Course work, thesis. Also, having site on django. And this site is my exam. Conveniently, right? https://github.com/re0ah/nameless_os_site

nameless-os16's Issues

pathlib error - pathlib not being found even when it is installed

Hi re0ah -
This looks like a really promising project - I'm keen to help where I can with testing (as I'm not great with assembly coding :) ) .
Oh, and a huge thanks for releasing it as "public domain" - I'm a real "PD weenie" and LOVE supporting PD projects!

I found this error when trying to build the code -

andy@obsidian:/nameless-OS16$ sudo make run
rm -rf source/.bin
rm -rf source/bootload/.bin
rm -rf programs/*.bin
rm -rf images
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/andy/nameless-OS16/source/bootload'
nasm -f bin bootload.asm -o bootload.bin
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/andy/nameless-OS16/source/bootload'
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/andy/nameless-OS16/source'
nasm -f bin kernel.asm -o kernel.bin
python pre_replace.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pre_replace.py", line 3, in
from pathlib import Path
ImportError: No module named pathlib
make[1]: *** [Makefile:5: all] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/andy/nameless-OS16/source'
make: *** [Makefile:12: os16.flp] Error 2
andy@obsidian:/nameless-OS16$

( BTW, I'm on Linux Mint 20.1 - I installed python-pathlib2 (version 2.3.5-1ubuntu1).
I got the error as shown above so I installed pathlib. I got the error again - weird!
So - hoping you can help here as I'm very keen to get the OS working - I'll test it in VirtualBox.
Many thanks - bye for now -
