3.1 KiB
Iglunix
Unix like software distribution with no GNU components
All build scripts are 0BSD Licensed.
To create an ISO from a non-iglunix OS please see https://github.com/iglunix/iglunix-autobuild
Is this GNU/Linux
No, GNU currently contributes roughly 10 MiB of code in the base system whilst, LLVM and Linux both contribute approximately 1 GiB each. Instead we suggest that one should refer to Igluinx running on the Linux kernel as LLVM/Musl/Linux. LLVM and Linux because they are the two largest packages and make up the majority of the base system, and Musl to be explicit about the C library, target triple and to differentiate it from any system using LLVM's libc (which will may very well likely use in the future).

Status of Other Kernels
FreeBSD
FreeBSD has solid upstream LLVM support which would make it ideal for iglunix. However, I haven't been successful at building the required parts of the base system.
OpenBSD
Iglunix has been tested to work on OpenBSD. (don't forget to symlink libc.so
otherwise the toolchain breaks).
Darwin
I have found no easy way of building libc on Darwin platforms as on yet. Because of this I haven't got far at all porting Iglunix to Darwin based systems such as MacOS and PureDarwin.
Web Browsers
Iglunix has Firefox ESR packaged requiring 2 extra GNU packages: gm4 and
autoconf. Iglunix may switch to using a patched version of webkit gtk with
openssl and maybe ffmpeg replacing gstreamer.

- LLVM (Work out how to split packages)
- QEMU for multiarch (need lots of work on glibr to get this to build)
