* Drop all HOST_KERNEL_* definitions, they aren't used or needed anymore, it seems. * Use --no-as-needed unconditionally; it works under Clang+LLD now. (and indeed it's still needed for the "unzip" host tool to compile and link properly.) * Drop --copy-dt-needed-entries. It was added around the time of GCC 10, but it seems that it's not needed anymore, or at least I did a minimum build having compiled the host tools without it and all seemed to be fine. Furthermore, it seems lld doesn't support it, so this fixes the build under FreeBSD and other platforms that also don't use ld.bfd same as Darwin/macOS.
Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
