r/TanjaOS

TanjaOS now supports compiling on BSD systems. A new Makefile called Makefile.bsd was made to compile TanjaOS on BSD systems. “Why does it now support BSD systems now? Why not sooner or later?” To answer that, this is because I have switched from Arch Linux to FreeBSD, which kind of forces me to make a new Makefile for compiling on BSD. To use this new Makefile.bsd you have to first make sure gmake, gcc, and nasm are installed. And then use ‘gmake <option> -f Makefile.bsd’ also for those who don’t know, the ‘-f’ flag is to tell gmake to which Makefile to use and where it is. If you’re interested, you can get TanjaOS at www.tanjaos.org or if you want the source, you can download TanjaOS-base.tar.gz at www.tanjaos.org/downloads

I just wanted to make it known, that before my laptop’s BIOS stopped working, i gave TanjaOS a new style. It has colors, it has alphabetical order for files and folders, the help command takes less space on the screen, and it now has updated and fixed directory logic so now you can’t make a folder or file inside of a folder that doesn’t exist. Before, you could and the folder or file you tried to make in the nonexistent folder would be invisible and so would the nonexistent folder. Now that’s it fixed i can proudly say, TanjaOS is usable.

So, like you all know, TanjaOS is in C and Assembly, but a few people have been telling me that C++ is better than C. The only problem with this is that I don’t know how to code in C++. I only know, Bash, C and Assembly. So if someone is willing to fork TanjaOS and rewrite it in C++, by all means, go for it. Or, I could learn C++ and rewrite it myself. Let me know in the comments.
