## Setup
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)).
To build and run Luna, you will need to build a [cross-compiler](https://wiki.osdev.org/Why_do_I_need_a_Cross_Compiler) and cross-binutils for `x86_64-luna`.
You should start by installing the [required dependencies](https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross_Compiler#Installing_Dependencies).
Additionally, some extra Luna-specific dependencies you should install are: cmake, ninja, nasm and genext2fs.

## Running
You should have [QEMU](https://www.qemu.org/) installed.

Prebuilt ISO images (numbered) for every version can be found at [pub.cloudapio.eu](https://pub.cloudapio.eu/luna/releases).
These images are built manually whenever I decide to make a new version, and thus don't reflect the latest changes on the `main` branch.
These images are built manually whenever a new release is created, and thus don't reflect the latest changes on the `main` branch.
Every hour, this server pulls the latest commits on `main` and builds an hourly ISO image. The ten most recent ones can be found in the [hourly](https://pub.cloudapio.eu/luna/hourly) directory, and [Luna-latest.iso](https://pub.cloudapio.eu/luna/Luna-latest.iso) should always be symlinked to the newest one.

## Is there third-party software I can use on Luna?
Not right now, but hopefully we can start porting some software soon!
There is no infrastructure for porting third-party software nor there are any patches in the repo for now, but some third-party programs can run on Luna, including [my own library](https://git.cloudapio.eu/apio/minitar).
