Welcome. + +This version of the GNU Hurd runs on various ix86 machines, including +i386, i486, i586 (pentium), i686 (hexium [pentium pro]). + +For instructions on compiling and installing the GNU Hurd from an +already running Hurd system, see the file `INSTALL'. + +It is possible to cross-build the Hurd; the file INSTALL-cross +contains some past instructions for doing so, but it's too much +trouble to maintain these instructions and keep them up to date. Your +best bet is to start with a running Hurd system already. If you do +decide to cross compile, you will need to examine the instructions in +INSTALL for building Mach, libc, and the Hurd together, and follow +them. The instructions in INSTALL-cross are quite out-of-date, but +they contain some useful hints buried amongst the errors, so we have +left the file for those who find it useful. + +Please note that this directory also contains a fair amount of +not-yet-working code. By default, the makefiles build only the +working code. + +Bug reports for the GNU Hurd should be sent to the mailing list +`bug-hurd@prep.ai.mit.edu'. Please do not send requests for +assistance in installing or using the software to that address. +Instead, send requests for assistance to the mailing list +`help-hurd@prep.ai.mit.edu'. You can join these lists by sending a +request to `bug-hurd-request@prep.ai.mit.edu' or +`help-hurd-request@prep.ai.mit.edu' respectively. + +The GNU Hurd is free software. All of it, including the libraries in +this distribution, is covered by the GNU General Public License, found +in the file COPYING. + + |
