building Llama/osian:

(something between inverted commas '' means you should type this on 
your console, without the inverted commas.)

You'll need the bash shell and sed to execute build scripts.
You need gdc (get it from http://home.earthlink.net/~dvdfrdmn/d/ )
  and build (get it from http://www.dsource.org/projects/build - use 
  Makefile.unix) to compile the d source files.
You need nasm (get it from http://nasm.sourceforge.net/ ) to assemble 
  assembler files.
You need ld from the binutils package 
  (get it from http://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ ) to link the object 
  files together.
You need mkisofs from the cdrtools package 
  (get it from http://freshmeat.net/projects/cdrecord/ ) to create the iso
  image.
You may optionally use gzip ( http://www.gzip.org/ ) to compress 
  the kernel image.
You may optionally use qemu ( http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ ) to test
  the operating system in an emulator (of course every other emulator should
  work as well)

  Under Windows you best use cygwin ( http://www.cygwin.com/ ) to compile.
  GCC from cygwin has gdc included. Under Linux, you can use the packages of
  your distributor. You may have to recompile gcc sources patched with gdc
  because gdc won't be included in your distribution's gcc.

-> enter the main directory (where this file is in)
-> type './make' to build
-> type './run' if you have qemu installed an in your path to run
-> type './clean' to remove temporary files from editor and from build.

Known-to-work configurations:

Suse Linux 10.0
  gcc 4.0.3, gdc 0.17, dmd-script 0.140 (self-compiled)
  ld 2.16.91.0.2 (from SuSE)
  nasm 0.98.38 (from Packman)
  mkisofs 2.01 (from SuSE?)
