Building L4Linux-2.6 and requisitesSystem RequirementsL4Linux-2.6 is an L4Env application and therefore needs L4Env as its environment. Make sure you have your L4Env environment ready before proceeding with building L4Linux. You can use the l4linux-2.6-env module to get the requisites for L4Linux. Quick guide to get it working:
General remark: Keep both L4Linux and the other L4 components in sync and up to date to avoid problems. Also make sure to use the same compiler version to compile both the L4 tree and L4Linux. When configuring Fiasco, make sure to enable the experimental option 'Handle and preserve segments', it's required to run L4Linux-2.6. For Fiasco-UX additionally enable the graphical console. L4Linux will complain at runtime if needed features of the kernel are missing. CompilingGo to the l4linux-2.6 directory and configure your kernel with:
make menuconfig
or To configure L4Linux specific options, go to the "L4Linux configuration" submenu. Set the directory to your L4 tree. If you want to compile L4Linux for Fiasco-UX, enable the "userland" option. Using the rtc is optional for the native mode.
For a native configuration it is generally safe to use nearly anything
like drivers but do not enable features like ACPI, SMP, preemption,
apic/ioapic, HPET, highmem, MTRR, MCE, power management and similar.
Make sure to enable Build L4Linux with
make
