How far has the GCC port come? Is the project anywhere near self hosting being a feasible task?
The GCC port is pretty decent. You can build about 90% of the system inside itself but you eventually hit some kernel bug that crashes the build, ironically usually while building the kernel itself. There’s debugging to be done, but that’s true of the whole system.. We’ll get there eventually.
The fs/disk performance is also quite terrible and, which you can really feel during builds with GCC. I need to look into what’s happening there as well :)
i,m working on ultra compatible web forum system and curious if it would work...
even without form support, it is possible...
would you be interested in trying?
your objectives for the user study would be to read, vote, and comment.
link is in my profile. tia
you can make a new submission by putting it in the url.
anything not existing already becomes a new post.
thank you for responding.
it would mean a lot to me to be able to claim compatibility with serenity browser. maybe i,ll just try it myself, if i can figure it out.
already compatible with ncsa mosaic 1.0 ))
If you would like to hear the story behind the "Serenity" name, and what led up to the creation of this OS, I spoke about it a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3JkNGKZtqM
Also check out this 1 minute video of the Serenity Browser in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cu9wONA1MHc
Ofc I'm happy to answer any questions about the system!
