People,
I use Fedora for just about everything (well OK, I use Android too . .) but I am interested in microkernels and their possibilities so I started playing around with Genode but I got an immediate error in the build and when I posted a note on the Genode list to ask about how to fix it, I got this reply:
'your host system misses a proper C++ compiler, which is needed to build the "hybrid" fb_sdl component (hybrid means that it is both a regular Linux program that is linked against the glibc and interacts with the Linux world, as well a Genode component that interacts with the Genode world). The sup++ library is normally part of the 'g++' package.
To avoid stumbling blocks like this, please revisit the prerequisites listed here:
http://genode.org/documentation/developer-resources/getting_started '
However, the stuff there left me none-the-wiser about how to fix the problem . .
If anyone has any suggestions about how to proceed (or about microkernels in general) I will give it another shot - otherwise I wait till the next time something piques my interest in the subject . .
Thanks,
Phil.
