Binaries

ELF binaries and ISO images can be downloaded on the releases page.

Dependencies

• NASM, with support for elf32 output format
• Linker capable of emulating elf_i386
• genisoimage (from cdrkit) or mkisofs (from cdrtools)

If the system linker does not support emulating elf_i386, a cross-linker can be built from GNU binutils. Use ./configure --target i386-elf, then set LD = i386-elf-ld.

To use mkisofs instead of genisoimage, set GENISOIMAGE = mkisofs.

Make variables can be set on the command line or in config.mk.

Build

make

This will assemble and link a multiboot ELF file, tetrasm.elf.

The default build is debug, which includes debug symbols and runtime debug functions. The release build excludes these.

make BUILD=release

There is also a test build, which features tests of the core functions rather than the game.

make BUILD=test

ISO

make iso

This will create a bootable ISO using GRUB Legacy, tetrasm.iso.

Emulation

make qemu BUILD=release

This will boot tetrasm.elf in QEMU using multiboot. If run in the debug build, waits for a debugger to attach.

make qemu-iso BUILD=release

This will boot tetrasm.iso in QEMU.

Debugging

make gdb

This will attach GDB to QEMU started from make qemu.
