This guide explains how to build and run AdrOS on your local machine (Linux/WSL).
-AdrOS is a Unix-like, POSIX-compatible OS kernel with threads, futex synchronization, networking (TCP/IP + DNS + ICMP via lwIP in threaded mode), dynamic linking infrastructure, FAT12/16/32 + ext2 filesystems, ASLR, vDSO, zero-copy DMA, multi-drive ATA, a POSIX shell, framebuffer graphics (`/dev/fb0`), raw keyboard input (`/dev/kbd`), uid/gid/euid/egid permission enforcement, an interactive kernel console, and a working DOOM port. See [POSIX_ROADMAP.md](docs/POSIX_ROADMAP.md) for the full compatibility checklist.

## 1. Dependencies
- `/bin/sh` — POSIX sh-compatible shell with `$PATH` search, pipes, redirects, builtins
- `/bin/cat`, `/bin/ls`, `/bin/mkdir`, `/bin/rm` — core utilities
- `/bin/doom.elf` — DOOM (doomgeneric port) — included in initrd if built (see below)
-- `/lib/ld.so` — stub dynamic linker (placeholder for future shared library support)
+- `/lib/ld.so` — dynamic linker with full relocation processing
The ulibc provides: `printf`, `malloc`/`free`/`calloc`/`realloc`, `string.h`, `unistd.h`, `errno.h`, `pthread.h`, `signal.h` (with `raise`, `sigaltstack`, `sigpending`, `sigsuspend`), `stdio.h` (buffered I/O with `fopen`/`fread`/`fwrite`/`fclose`), `stdlib.h` (`atof`, `strtol`, `getenv` stub, `system` stub), `ctype.h`, `sys/mman.h` (`mmap`/`munmap`), `sys/ioctl.h` (`ioctl`), `time.h` (`nanosleep`/`clock_gettime`), `sys/times.h`, `sys/uio.h`, `sys/types.h`, `sys/stat.h`, `math.h` (`fabs`), `assert.h`, `fcntl.h`, `strings.h`, `inttypes.h`, `linux/futex.h`, and `realpath()`.
This produces `adros-arm.bin`.
### Run on QEMU
-ARM does not use GRUB/ISO in the same way. The kernel is loaded directly into memory.

-## 5. Common Troubleshooting
+## 6. Common Troubleshooting
- **"Multiboot header not found"**: Check whether `grub-file --is-x86-multiboot2 adros-x86.bin` returns success (0). If it fails, the section order in `linker.ld` may be wrong.
- **"Triple Fault (infinite reset)"**: Usually caused by paging (VMM) issues or a misconfigured IDT. Run `make ARCH=x86 run QEMU_DEBUG=1` and inspect `qemu.log`.
