# OC-PsychOS2
A lightweight, multi-user operating system for OpenComputers
## Building
### The kernel
The kernel is composed of a number of modules, found in the *module/* directory, as specified by a file in the *kcfg* directory, `base` by default. Which modules are included can be customised by changing the include statements in the kernel configuration file; copying it and customizing that is recommended, so you can *git pull* later without having to stash or reset your changes.
#### Unix-like systems
The kernel can be built using the preproc library and provided scripts:
lua build.lua kcfg/base.cfg kernel.lua
#### PsychOS
The kernel can be built from inside PsychOS using the preproc library, assuming you have the kernel source available:
preproc("kcfg/base.cfg","kernel.lua")
### The boot filesystem
A boot filesystem contains several things:
- The kernel, as init.lua
- The lib/ directory, containing libraries
- The service/ directory, containing system services
- The exec/ directory, containing single-shot executable files
This has been automated in the form of build.sh, pending a real makefile.
## Documentation
Documentation is generated as the system is built with build.sh; a set of markdown files will be placed into *doc/*, as well as an all-in-one *apidoc.md*. If pandoc is installed, an *apidoc.pdf* will also be generated.
