README's layout predated the BIOS/UEFI split. moving-to-linux.md now
says what is gitignored and therefore absent from a clone: dist/ holds
61 MB of upstream tarballs, so copy it or let the build re-fetch them --
make ports verifies each against a known SHA-256 either way.
tools/posix/setup-fedora.sh installs the toolchain and reports what it
cannot: PowerShell has no Fedora package, and bootcheck is the test
suite, so the script says how to get pwsh rather than failing quietly.
It also checks /dev/kvm, since a Ryzen box can run the tests at native
speed.
docs/moving-to-linux.md is the actual procedure: copy the repo, restore
the memory, install, build. The memory travels inside the repo and
`memory-sync.sh import` puts it under the key this machine derives from
its own path -- /home/nexoniarz/Documents/SchOS becomes
-home-nexoniarz-Documents-SchOS, where D:\DEV\SchOS was D--DEV-SchOS.
OVMF discovery no longer assumes QEMU's Windows layout. Fedora ships
edk2-ovmf to /usr/share/edk2/ovmf/, Debian and Arch differ again, so the
Makefile searches a list and names the packages when it finds nothing.
Tested through the shell rather than $(wildcard): on Windows make is a
native binary using Win32 file calls, while `command -v` returns an MSYS
path like /c/Users/..., which $(wildcard) cannot see -- it returned
nothing on a machine that had the firmware.
Two things only that machine can test: `make ports` builds musl, toybox
and mksh from source, which Windows cannot do at all; and the SchFS
round-trip needs symlinks and hard links, so it has never actually run.
