You ''must'' use a [[GCC Cross-Compiler]] in this tutorial as in the
Line 98 ⟶ 101:
<tt>sysroot/boot</tt> directory.
 
We already use system roots already now because it will make it smoother to add a user-space when you get that far. This scheme is very convenient when you later [[Cross-Porting_Software|Port Third-Party Software by Cross-Compiling It]].
 
The <tt>-elf</tt> targets have no user-space and are incapable of having one. We configured the compiler with system root support, so it will look in <tt>${SYSROOT}/usr/lib</tt> as expected. We prevented the compiler from searching for a standard library using the --without-headers option when building <tt>i686-elf-gcc</tt>, so it will ''not'' look in <tt>${SYSROOT}/usr/include</tt>. (Once you add a user-space and a libc, you will configure your custom cross-gcc with <tt>--with-sysroot</tt> and it will look in <tt>${SYSROOT}/usr/include</tt>. As a temporary work-around until you get that far, we fix it by passing <tt>-isystem=/usr/include</tt>).

provide the compiler a copy of your headers before you actually compile your
system. You will [[Hosted_GCC_Cross-Compiler#Sysroot_Headers|need to provide the

future that is capable of an user-space.
 
Note how your cross-compiler comes with a number of fully freestanding headers

two phases in the makefiles: one that setsets a default value and one that adds
mandatory options the project makefile requires:

You can easily download the source code using [[Git]] from the [https://gitlab.com/sortie/meaty-skeleton Meaty Skeleton Git repository]. This is preferable to doing a manual error-prone copy, as you may make a mistake or whitespace getsmay get garbled due to bugs in our syntax highlighting. To clone the git repository, do:
 
<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="bash">
git clone https://gitlab.com/sortie/meaty-skeleton.git
</syntaxhighlight>
</source>
 
Check for differences between the git revision used in this article and what you cloned (empty output means there is no difference):
<sourcesyntaxhighlight lang="bash">
git diff 084d1624bedaa9f9e395f055c6bd99299bd97f58..master

Operating systems development is about being an expert. Take the time to read the code carefully through and understand it. Please seek further information and help if you don't understand aspects of it. This code is minimal and almost everything is done deliberately, often to pre-emptively solve future problems.

== Troubleshooting ==
 
If you receive odd errors during the build, you may have made a mistake during manual copying, perhaps missed a file, forgottenforgot to make a file executable, or bugs in the highlighting software we use cause unintended whitespace to appear. Perform a git repository clone as described above, and use that code instead, or compare the two directory trees with the <tt>diff(1)</tt> diff command line utility. If you made personal changes to the code, those may be at fault.
