 Custom OS from scratch in C
 
 # Notes
-This only supports 32bit for now, please DO NOT compile with 64bit or it'll fail to boot
+**Heavily UNDER DEVELOPMENT**
 
-## compilation of any component
-You are required to get your own cross C compiler. This is because normal C compilers for your Linux distro (assuming that you are on Linux) will optimize against your own libs and other things. This OS doesn't exist yet, so this is a big no no in OS development. Another thing is that you want to compile for 32 bit, so you'll need to cross compile anyways...
+Currently just boots and well, does nothing lol.
 
-### general c files
+## BUILDING
+You'll need a few things:
+- LLVM/Clang (default C compiler)
+- LLD (linker)
+- xorriso (iso creation)
+- git
+- make
+- qemu (for virtual machine)
+
+After acquiring those just run make and it'll do everything for you:
 ```bash
-i386-elf-gcc -c kernel.c -o kernel.o -std=c99 -ffreestanding -O2 -Wall -Wextra # i386 is the 32 bit version of x86
-# also please compile with the -Iinclude flag to include the libraries like string.h in the arch
+make
 ```
 
-### "compiling" the "boot stub"
-```bash
-i386-elf-as boot.s -o boot.o
-```
-
-### linking the "compiled" boot stub w/compiled kernel img
-```
-i386-elf-gcc -T linker.ld -o cowos.bin -ffreestanding -O2 -nostdlib boot.o kernel.o
-```
-
-## Getting it bootable
-You'll need grub and mtools. First move the compiled cowos.bin to isodir/boot. Then run the following command:
-```bash
-grub-mkrescue isodir/ -o cowos.iso
-```
-Now you can enjoy running this in qemu lol.
