Google Working On New "Fuchsia" Operating System, Powered By Magenta / LK Kernel

[Xaero_Vincent]

Has anyone here tried Fuchsia yet?

I tested Fuchsia out the other day and posted a video on youtube. It's very much in early development stage but does have a graphics console and basic support for graphics.

Someone managed to get the vMac emulator complete with MacOS System 5 ported to Fuchsia, which is pretty cool. It's like the classic late 1980's Macintosh UI is the first real desktop environment for Fuchsia.

I am excited.

First, it struck me as strange, but I think, that there is a lot of potential. IMHO the kernel is very easy to extend. All of this stuff is really clean and really good.

It seems to be possible to build the whole stuff, but I only find my way halfway through:

fuchsia$ ./scripts/build-sysroot.sh -c

Fails with:

Perhaps this is a starting point for somebody else to try.

Fuchsia documentation is taking shape.

https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/doc...AD/glossary.md

Interesting reading is about "namespace spec".
