As of 2014 this source tree compiles and runs on Linux.

It is only tested on 3 x86-64 Linux systems and Solaris:
- Ubuntu 13.04, gcc-4.7.3, qemu-1.4.0
- Linux Mint 15, gcc-4.7.3, qemu-1.4.0
- Arch Linux, gcc-4.8.1, qemu-1.7.0

You will need:
- A recent version of gcc
- A recent version of qemu
- Pintos source files from astmatix.ida.liu.se:/home/TDDI81/lab/skel/pintos
- Pintos scripts from astmatix.ida.liu.se:/home/TDDI81/lab/bin
- Some good fortune

You may need to create a link named "qemu" to wherever
qemu-system-i386 is located on your system.

Make sure qemu and the pintos scripts are in your path.

Troubles? Contact your assistant.

Have it working? Feel free to tell us it works on your system.
