A Makefile is provided for building the userspace toolchain, to build it, go to theuserspace / toolchain

Once built, a patched version of GCC / Binutils will be installed inuserspace / toolchain / tools / bin (******************, simply set your PATH variable to that location and you can use the toolchain (with the***** (i)  - elf-lilithprefix)
To compile C programs for the system, you'll also need to build the libc. In theuserspace / toolchaindirectory, do:

make run

To run with storage, an MBR-formatted hard drive image with a FAT 31 partition must be provided in the running directory with the namedrive.img. The kernel will automatically boot themain.binexecutable on the hard drive, or panic if it can't be loaded.
make run_img
