Closes the rest of the build-break cascade after round 18 part 1:
1. router/mod.rs:550 — IpProtocol -> u8 conversion.
smoltcp 0.13.1 tightened the return type of
IpProtocol::from() from u8 to IpProtocol (an enum). The PacketContext
field is u8. Add .into() so the type matches the destination.
2. scheme/mod.rs:185 + :199 — File::from_raw_fd expects i32.
libredox::Fd::into_raw() returns usize (defined in libredox
lib.rs:409). The destination File::from_raw_fd takes c_int.
Add 'as i32' at both call sites (network FD + time FD).
3. scheme/netcfg/mod.rs:173 — for-loop iteration mismatch.
DeviceList::iter() returns Iterator<Item = &(dyn LinkDevice + 'static)>
not Iterator<Item = (&str, &dyn LinkDevice)> as the loop assumed
(the old tuple shape was for a HashMap-style DeviceList that
was later refactored to Vec<Box<dyn LinkDevice>>).
Rewrite the loop to use dev.name() per iteration.
4. scheme/tcp.rs — 3 errors:
a) cannot find type CallerCtx. Add 'use redox_scheme::CallerCtx;'
(matches the udp.rs pattern at line 2).
b) cannot find type SocketCall. Add 'use libredox::protocol::SocketCall;'
(matches the socket.rs pattern at line 13).
c) send_slice returns Result<usize, SendError> not isize.
The original code treated negative as error. With the Result
variant, Err(_) means the socket may have closed or the
buffer was full. Map Err to Ok(0) (matches the original
'written.max(0) as usize' semantics: report 0 bytes sent
on failure rather than erroring). Use a closure to keep
the MSG_NOSIGNAL signal-mask dance readable.
5. scheme_pool.rs:198 — E0521 borrowed data escapes.
Tighten submit signature to 'name: &'static str'. All callers
(run_corec12_main_loop, tests) already pass string literals
which are 'static, so no caller updates are required.
Build should now compile netstack. Remaining items after this
commit: only warnings (37 total) — unused imports/variables
tracked for a future cleanup commit.
Base
Repository containing various system daemons, that are considered fundamental for the OS.
You can see what each component does in the following list:
- audiod : Daemon used to process the sound drivers audio
- bootstrap : First code that the kernel executes, responsible for spawning the init daemon
- daemon : Redox daemon library
- drivers
- init : Daemon used to start most system components and programs
- initfs : Filesystem with the necessary system components to run RedoxFS
- ipcd : Daemon used for inter-process communication
- logd : Daemon used to log system components and daemons
- netstack : Daemon used for networking
- ptyd : Daemon used for pseudo-terminal
- ramfs : RAM filesystem
- randd : Daemon used for random number generation
- zerod : Daemon used to discard all writes and fill read buffers with zero
How To Contribute
To learn how to contribute you need to read the following document:
If you want to contribute to drivers read its README
Development
To learn how to do development with these system components inside the Redox build system you need to read the Build System and Coding and Building pages.
How To Build
It is recommended to build this system component via the Redox build system, you can learn how to do it on the Building Redox page.
To build and test outside the build system, install redoxer then use check.sh script to build or test:
./check.sh- Check build for x86_64./check.sh --arch=ARCH- Check build for specific ARCH (aarch64,i586,riscv64gc)./check.sh --all- Check build for all ARCH./check.sh --test- Check the base system boots up on x86_64
You can also use make install to inspect the content on ./sysroot, or make test-gui to test booting with orbital interactively.
