Chapter 6
Knitting the OSKit

To use Knit with the OSKit, you should:

1. Obtain a matching version of the OSKit. (The Knit download page says which version of the OSKit to use with each version of Knit.)
2. Unpack, configure and prepare the OSKit:
   
     mkdir /tmp/src
     cd /tmp/src
     tar zxvf oskit<version>.tar.gz
     mkdir /tmp/obj
     cd /tmp/obj
     /tmp/src/oskit/configure --enable-knit
     make prepare
3. Try building some of the kernels:
   
     mkdir /tmp/test
     cd /tmp/test
     knit                                   \
       OSKITDIR=/tmp/src/oskit              \
       BUILDDIR=/tmp/obj                    \
       UNIT_PATH=/tmp/src/oskit/knit        \
       MAKEFILE=/tmp/src/oskit/knit/knit.mk \
       Delta.unit \
       Hello_ADR
     make -s

   This will build an OSKit kernel in the file kernel.

   The following units define OSKit kernels.

   
     Hello_ADR
     Hello_Delta
     Timer_Delta
     Timer1_COM_Delta
     Timer2_COM_Delta
     MemFS_COM_Delta
     Blkio_Delta
     DiskPart_Delta
     MemFS_Posix_Delta
     NetBSD_Posix_Delta
     PingReply_Delta
     Cat_Delta
