Your best bet to build the toolchain is to switch to the `main` branch, where it will build successfully, and run `tools/setup.sh`. Then switch back to this branch, run `git clean -fd`, and continue development :) Alternatively, you can also download prebuilt toolchains for x86_64/arm64 Linux hosts from [here](https://pub.cloudapio.eu/luna). Then run `tar xf toolchain-linux-ARCH.tar.gz -C /path/to/luna`. +**ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS** + To build and run Luna, you will need to build a [GCC Cross-Compiler](https://wiki.osdev.org/Why_do_I_need_a_Cross_Compiler) and cross-binutils for `x86_64-luna`. (Yes, Luna is advanced enough that it can use its own [OS-Specific Toolchain](https://wiki.osdev.org/OS_Specific_Toolchain), instead of a bare metal target like `x86_64-elf`. It is the first of my OS projects to be able to do so. The patches for Binutils and GCC are [binutils.patch](tools/binutils.patch) and [gcc.patch](tools/gcc.patch)). You should start by installing the [required dependencies](https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross_Compiler#Installing_Dependencies).
