I’ve successfully built various images on Linux (Mint) with the gcc4
tools. I’m now trying to boot the image in Bochs. The instructions here
(https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/virtualizing/bochs) almost work but
Bochs complains about the disk geometry being incorrect. 2 questions
arising if I may:
The first question that comes to mind is: does it have to be Bochs?
It's really a bit on the antique side of things, even if it was probably
the first emulator to run Haiku (that's how old we are) :-)
2. Irrespective of the above does anyone know which part of the jam
scripts generates the image? Presumably it can be tweaked to create
something a bit more digestible for Bochs?
Since package management, this has become a bit complicated. Haiku is
now built mostly of packages. The packages are defined in
build/jam/packages.
Then there are different image types that are defined in
build/jam/images. There is a "definitions" directory that select the
files of the Haiku package depending on some profiles (regular, minimum,
bootstrap).
You might want to try to build a bootstrap or minimum image, and boot
that one (eg. jam @minimum-raw).
Bye,
Axel.
