Setting up your build environment

We recommend you use your own machine for the projects.

Setup instructions for QEMU and the build environment for GeekOS are below:

Linux
Mac
Linuxlab
If you run Windows, your best bet is to install Ubuntu in a virtual machine, then follow the Linux instructions. You may be able to use the cygwin toolchain to complete the assignment; If you love microsoft windows enough that running a linux VM offends you, I expect you can port the geekos build process to windows.
