3 To build the system you need either mingw32 installed on Windows or a
4 mingw32 cross compiler running on unix.
8 To build from Windows run 'make -fmakefile.dos'. To build from unix, edit
9 rules.mak and change the PREFIX variable to the correct value for your
10 cross-compiler, then run 'make'.
14 Installation isn't yet automated, sorry. The system can only be installed on
15 the first partition which must be formatted for DOS. Set up a directory
16 structure like the following
18 make directories C:\reactos,C:\reactos\system,C:\reactos\system\drivers
20 Copy apps/shell/shell.exe to C:\reactos\system
21 Copy services/dd/keyboard/keyboard.sys to C:\reactos\system\drivers
22 Copy services/dd/blue/blue.sys to C:\reactos\system\drivers
24 The system can only be started from DOS. Copy the following files,
25 services/dd/ide/ide.sys, services/fs/vfat/vfatfsd.sys and
26 loaders/dos/loadros.com, to a suitable directory. The system can then be
27 booted with the command 'loadros.com ide.sys vfatfsd.sys'.
