You need a nightly Rust compiler. First you need to install the cargo-xbuild and bootimage tools:
cargo install cargo-xbuild bootimage
Then you can build the project by running:
cargo xbuild
To create a bootable disk image, run:
cargo bootimage
This creates a bootable disk image in the target/x86_64-mali_os/debug directory.
Please file an issue if you have any problems.
You can run the disk image in QEMU through:
cargo xrun
Of course QEMU needs to be installed for this.
You can also write the image to an USB stick for booting it on a real machine. On Linux, the command for this is:
dd if=target/x86_64-mali_os/debug/bootimage-mali_os.bin of=/dev/sdX && sync
Where sdX is the device name of your USB stick. Be careful to choose the correct device name, because everything on that device is overwritten.
To run the unit and integration tests, execute cargo xtest.
