Getting Started

1. Build a hosted Inferno environment.

2. Ensure that limbo and emu are on the path by adding the directory containing those executables for the host system to the PATH environment variable.

   If you have separate directories containing the build system and hosted installation then the path will refer to a directory in the build directory.

3. Run limbo to compile programs, passing -o with the location on the host's filing system of the resulting .dis files, which should be within the hosted environment.

4. Run emu with the -r option to specify the location of the hosted environment on the host's filing system and the -d option to specify the location of the .dis files in the hosted environment.

Example

Using the Inferno source directory as the root directory of the environment:

export INFERNO_ROOT=/home/user/inferno-os
export SYSHOST=Linux
export ARCH=386
export PATH=$INFERNO_ROOT/$SYSHOST/$ARCH/bin:$PATH

limbo -o $INFERNO_ROOT/tmp/output.dis programs/Hello.b
emu -d /tmp/output.dis

Using a hosted root:

export INFERNO_ROOT=/home/user/inferno-os
export HOSTED_ROOT=/home/user/hosted
export SYSHOST=Linux
export ARCH=386
export PATH=$INFERNO_ROOT/$SYSHOST/$ARCH/bin:$PATH

limbo -o $HOSTED_ROOT/tmp/output.dis programs/Hello.b
emu -r $HOSTED_ROOT -d /tmp/output.dis
