1 This version of Pintos is designed for use with Bochs 2.2.6. A few
2 patches for this version of Bochs are included:
4 bochs-2.2.6-big-endian.patch
6 Makes the gdb stubs work on big-endian systems such as
7 Solaris/Sparc, by doing proper byteswapping. It should be
10 bochs-2.2.6-jitter.patch
12 Adds the `jitter' feature described in the project documentation,
13 in which timer interrupts are delivered at random intervals.
15 bochs-2.2.6-ms-extensions.patch
17 Needed for Bochs to compile with GCC on some hosts. Probably
20 bochs-2.2.6-solaris.patch
22 Needed on Solaris hosts. Do not apply it elsewhere.
24 To apply all the patches, cd into the Bochs directory, then type
25 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-big-endian.patch
26 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-jitter.patch
27 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-ms-extensions.patch
28 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-solaris.patch
29 You will have to supply the proper $PINTOSDIR, of course. You can use
30 patch's --dry-run option if you want to test whether the patches would
31 apply cleanly before trying to apply them.
33 Sample commands to build and install Bochs for Pintos are supplied in
