ZeroVM is a simple virtual machine. ZeroVM can run (and isolate) 64-bit x86 applications in a 32-bit address space. ZeroVM works under Linux x86_64. For more information check out ZeroVM.org
Everything has been tested on Ubuntu 10.04 and Ubuntu 12.04. No issues with VMWare Player. VirtualBox doesn't support SSE4.1, which is used by several of the provided samples.
$ sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc-multilib g++-multilib libsdl1.2-dev texinfo libcrypto++-dev libssl-dev m4 lib32z1 uuid-dev
export NACL_SDK_ROOT=/some/path/to/nacl_sdk/pepper_23
export ZEROVM_ROOT=/some/path/to/zerovm
export ZRT_ROOT=/some/path/to/zrt
export ZVM_PREFIX=/opt/zerovm
$ wget http://download.zeromq.org/zeromq-2.2.0.tar.gz
$ tar xvfz zeromq-2.2.0.tar.gz
$ cd zeromq-2.2.0 && ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
Consult the NaCL installation docs for the exact procedure. The following process should work in most cases:
$ wget http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/nativeclient-mirror/nacl/nacl_sdk/nacl_sdk.zip
$ unzip nacl_sdk.zip && cd nacl_sdk
$ ./naclsdk update pepper_23
Now you can use the newly installed custom GNU toolchain to build the attached samples or your own programs.
Get the validator:
$ git clone git://github.com/zerovm/validator.git && cd validator
$ make validator install
# OR
$ sudo -E make validator install
$ wget https://github.com/zerovm/zerovm/zipball/master
$ unzip master
$ mkdir zerovm
$ mv zerovm-zerovm-#######/* zerovm/
# OR
$ git clone git://github.com/zerovm/zerovm.git
# THEN
$ cd zerovm
$ make
$ sudo ldconfig
- If your system doesn't have JRE, install a recent JRE.
- Download Eclipse CDT from the Eclipse download site. No installation necessary, just unpack and run executable.
- Download and install EGit plugin for Eclipse
- Point EGit to
git://github.com/zerovm/zerovm.gitand pull the most recent ZeroVM sources. - Select 'create C/C++ project from makefile" to create a new Eclipse project.
- Run the makefile to build the project and run unit tests.
If everything is ok you will see output of the unit tests. Now if you've got RUN OK PASSED messages, you have successfully compiled ZeroVM for your platform! You'll find the zerovm executable in the project root directory.
$ cd ~/zerovm
$ ./zerovm
ZeroVM lightweight VM manager, build 2013-03-27
Usage: <manifest> [-e#] [-l#] [-v#] [-sFPSQ]
<manifest> load settings from manifest file
-e <level> enable the data control. where levels are
1 - channels, 2 - memory, 3 - both
-l set a new storage limit (in Gb)
-s skip validation
-v <level> verbosity -F fuzz testing; quit right before starting user app
-P disable channels space preallocation
-Q disable platform qualification (dangerous!)
-S disable signal handling
You should see a usage message similar to the one above. If not check out the troubleshooting section below.
Some samples can be found in the tests/functional/ directory. More can be found in the zerovm/zrt project.

Solution: missing libssl-dev library. Check the system prerequisites above
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lvalidator
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [zerovm] Error 1
Solution: Install zerovm/validator or consult the docs above.
