BoredOS Coreutils

This repository packages basic Unix commands and system status utilities tailored for BoredOS.

Component Features

• Basic CLI Commands: Standard commands (grep, uname, df, pwd, clear, echo, etc.).
• System Utilities: Low-level status and diagnostic commands (uptime, meminfo, lsblk, pci_list, crash, beep, reboot, shutdown).

Decoupled Building

This repository is designed to compile either within the main BoredOS tree OR completely standalone.

1. Integrated Build (Within BoredOS)

If built from the BoredOS root tree, the build system passes BOREDOS_SDK to the Makefile. It immediately compiles all CLI binaries against the shared SDK without duplicate downloads:

make BOREDOS_SDK=/path/to/shared/sdk

2. Standalone Build (Isolated Clone)

If cloned completely separately in isolation, running make will automatically bootstrap standard dependencies:

make

If build/sdk is missing, the Makefile automatically clones the pure standard library dependency from https://github.com/boredos/libc.git, compiles it, installs it to build/sdk, and uses it to build all utility ELFs standalone!

Staging Installation

To stage the compiled commands and assets into your target initrd root filesystem directory:

make DESTDIR=/path/to/initrd/root install

• All utility executables (*.elf) are routed to /bin/
• Configuration assets (sysfetch.cfg) are routed to /Library/conf/
• System ASCII artwork (boredos.txt) is routed to /Library/art/
