Dear whoever reads this,<br>
<br>
The only purpose of my current letter is to note<br>
that the GenodeOS gets beaten by the MINIX3 at<br>
getting newcomers on-board due to the fact that<br>
the MINIX3 has an ISO image that people can install<br>
to VirtualBox and the GenodeOS lacks such<br>
downloadable image.<br>
<br>
Actually, I once obtained one such GenodeOS image<br>
in 2010, but today is 2017. I haven't exhaustively<br>
tested the GenodeOS book, but at first glance it seems<br>
that the book assumes, at least from paths' point of view,<br>
a person is required to run a copy of the<br>
GenodeOS before building the GenodeOS.<br>
For example, after cloning the<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/genodelabs/genode" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/genodelabs/<wbr>genode</a><br>
<br>
and following instructions on page 24 of the 2017_08_22 version of the<br>
<br>
(Chapter 2.3, "Using the build system")<br>
<a href="http://genode.org/documentation/genode-foundations-17-05.pdf" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://genode.org/<wbr>documentation/genode-<wbr>foundations-17-05.pdf</a><br>
<br>
namely<br>
<br>
./tool/create_builddir x86_64<br>
cd ./build/x86_64<br>
nice -n20 make<br>
<br>
I get an error message<br>
<br>
---citation---start----<br>
/bin/bash: /usr/local/genode-gcc/bin/<wbr>genode-x86-g++: No such file or<br>
directory<br>
---citation---end------<br>
<br>
Obviously I AM NOT running GenodeOS, if I'm a<br>
newcomer and want to try out the GenodeOS for the<br>
very first time. As I wasn't given an ISO image to<br>
to try the GenodeOS, then my next step is to follow<br>
the official instructions, which in this case is to build the<br>
GenodeOS myself. Yet, the build system assumes that I'm<br>
building the GenodeOS WHILE RUNNING GENODEOS, because<br>
hardly any Linux or BSD distribution has a path like<br>
<br>
/usr/local/genode-gcc<br>
<br>
available by default. A chicken and an egg. There's a<br>
need for a grown up bird to lay the egg, but if<br>
the whole path of software-/bio-evolution<br>
is to be skipped, then a lamb must be able to<br>
give birth to a non-mammal, a lizard, a bird, a fish,<br>
to make fast bootstrapping possible,<br>
not to mention "The Alien Option":<br>
