The document outlines the steps to install and compile OS/161 on CentOS, particularly on a virtual machine using VirtualBox. It specifies the installation prerequisites, including necessary packages like ncurses-devel, and provides a detailed sequence of commands to set up the development environment and build the OS/161 tools. It also highlights common issues, such as missing libraries, and offers solutions to resolve these problems.

- 1. 1 COMP3500: Project 2 How to install and compile OS/161? README After installed VirtualBox on my Windows machine, I installed CentOS 6.5 on VirtualBox. Next, I successfully installed cs161-‐binutils-‐1.4 and cs161-‐gcc-‐1.5.tar. Unfortunately, I encountered an error "configure: error: no termcap library found". As Dustin suggested, installing the missing package can solve this problem. Please use the following command to install the package: yum install ncurses-devel You don't have to install CentOS 6.5, because I believe that you can install all the OS161 tools on CentOS 7. You don't have to install VirtualBox neither. Nevertheless, if you decide to install CentOS on VirtualBox, please refer to my installation log below. 1. Download CentOS 6.5 CD ISO image file Tested on Windows7 http://archive.kernel.org/centos- vault/6.5/isos/i386/ Tested on McOS http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating- systems/centos-6-5-free-download/ 2. Download VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads 3. Installation of CentOS in VirtualBox http://teaching.idallen.com/cst8207/14f/notes/000_centos_virtualb ox_install.html 4. Install CentOS 4.1 Important! When power on (boot) your virtual machine, you should see the CentOS installation screen. You must click in the window and use the arrow keys to stop the Automatic boot. 4.2 Important! After the installation is down, please reconfigure the Boot Order. Hard disk first followed by CD/DVD. 5. Create a user account in CentOS and Login CentOS using your newly created account 6. Become a root using $su and Install: # yum -y install gcc # yum -y install gcc-c++ # yum -y install vim-enhanced # yum -y install emacs # yum -y install gdb # yum -y install ethtool # yum -y install hdparm # yum -y install pciutils # yum -y install file # yum install ncurses-devel Important! If you don’t install the ncurses-devel package, you will receive an error message when you install cs161-gdb-1.5 (see also step 10).
- 2. 2 7. Download OS161 tarballs 7.1 Create the cs161 directory in your home directory 7.2 Download the following tarballs from Canvas and save them in your cs161 directory cs161-binutils-1.4.tar cs161-gcc-1.5.tar cs161-gdb-1.5.tar sys161-1.14.tar.gz os161-1.10.tar 8. Install cs161-binutils-1.4 cd cs161 tar vfzx cs161-binutils-1.4.tar cd cs161-binutils-1.4 ./toolbuild.sh 9 Build the cross compiler cd ~/cs161 tar vfxz cs161-gcc-1.5.tar cd cs161-gcc-1.5 ./toolbuild.sh
- 3. 3 10. Build the special gdb (works) cd ~/cs161 tar vfxz cs161-gdb-1.5.tar cd cs161-gdb-1.5 ./toolbuild.sh Error Message: configure: error: no termcap library found Install the missing ncurses-devel package:
- 4. 4 Successfully installed cs161-gdb-1.5 11. Build the sys161 emulator cd ~/cs161 tar vfxz sys161-1.14.tar.gz cd sys161-1.14 ./configure mipseb make make install 12. Install os161 12.1 Unpack os161-1.10.tar tar xvfz os161-1.10.tar.gz 12.2 Configure your tree for the machine on which you are working. We assume that you work in the directory ~/cs161. Please note that if you intend to work in a directory that's not ~/cs161 (which you will be doing when you test your later submissions), you will have to use the –ostree option to specify a directory in which you are working. ./configure –help explains the other options. cd ~/cs161/src ./configure 12.3 Configure a kernel named ASST0. cd ~/cs161/src/kern/conf ./config ASST0 12.4 Build the ASST0 kernel. (cs161/src/compile). Use ‘echo $PATH’ to check your $PATH.
- 5. 5 export PATH=~/cs161/bin:$PATH cd ../compile/ASST0 make depend make 12.5 Install the ASST0 kernel. % make install 12.6 Now also build the user level utilties. cd ~/cs161/src make 13. RUN OS161: Change into your root directory. %cd ~/cs161/root Run the machine simulator on your operating system. %./sys161 kernel Important! If you receive the following error message “Sys161: Cannot open config file sys161.conf”, you should download the file sys161.conf from Canvas and place it in your OS/161 root directory (~/cs161/root). If you successfully run os161, you will have:
- 6. 6 At the prompt, type p /sbin/poweroff <return>. This tells the kernel to run the "poweroff" program that shuts the system down.
