Zigux is an attempt to write a UNIX-like kernel in Zig

Zigux is an attempt to write a UNIX-like kernel in Zig. In order to build Zigux you need an x86_64 based Linux system and following dependencies:

  • GNU coreutils
  • GNU make
  • wget
  • xorriso
  • qemu

Running make all will generate an ISO file in the current directory. You can emulate Zigux by running make run (or make run-kvm if your host supports KVM).

Building packages and kernel itself is handled by Jinx (https://github.com/mintsuki/jinx), the recipes were greatly inspired by Lyre (https://github.com/lyre-os/lyre).
