How to make changes and test CPUID application of KolibriOS

Environment: Windows machine + VMWare Workstation -> Ubuntu

Following this guidlines: http://wiki.kolibrios.org/wiki/Compiling_application_in_Linux

1) Create CPUID application

CD to KolibriOS/Program/System/CPUID/trunk/

Run this command:

fasm CPUID.ASM CPUID

‘ls’ to check CPUID is created. Now we need to copy this to the disc.

2) Copy CPUID to disk:

sudo mkdir /media/floppy1/
sudo mount -o loop ~/kolibrios/kolibri.img /media/floppy1/
sudo mkdir /media/floppy1/my
sudo cp ~/kolibrios/programs/system/CPUID/trunk/CPUID /media/floppy1/my 
sudo umount /media/floppy1/

This should copy the CPUID to disk, to check you can check ‘my’ folder before unmounting the disk.

3) Running a program in VirtualBox

Installing Oracle VM VirtualBox:

 sudo apt-get install virtualbox

Creating virtual machine:

 vboxmanage createvm --name "kolibrios" --register
 vboxmanage storagectl "kolibrios" --name "Floppy" --add floppy
 vboxmanage storageattach "kolibrios" --storagectl "Floppy" --port 0 --device 0 --type fdd --medium ~/kolibrios/kolibri.img

Running KolibriOS:

 vboxmanage startvm "kolibrios" &

4) Open your modified CPUID application in KolibriOS Once inside kolibri, open KFAR.

In the right hand side, open up your disc image. Should look like this.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

Run CPUID application. (Just double click this ). Should see your updated CPUID application.

Note: This method should work to make changes and test other applications of KolibriOS as well. CategoryManuals
