3.2 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 aproximately 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 currently has qtwebengine running (with sandboxing broken on atleast aarch64). This does require 3 extra GNU dependencies ontop of GNU Make: gperf, gm4, bison. This also requires dbus however it is only needed at build time and for this reason we are working on a stub implementation.

TODO (lots more TODO items in the Discord)

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