It comes with the 64-bit gcc only, so the included gcc cannot create 32 bit binaries.
It is a stripped down system that does not include systemd, wayland, elogind, polkit, pulseaudio, or NetworkManager.
To write the image to a USB drive:
$ dd if=/path/to/file.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=1M /path/to/file.iso is the file name of the image file. /dev/sdX is the USB device to write the image to. Run as root. Be careful not to write to the wrong drive.
The design goals of HOT DOG Linux include:
HOT DOG Linux uses a custom lightweight Objective-C foundation on top of the GCC Objective-C runtime. The style of Objective-C is completely different from the one Apple uses, everything is basically id.
By design, Unicode is not supported.
Low DPI displays are preferred, since the graphics are bitmapped and fixed in size. The preferred aspect ratio for HOT DOG Linux is 5:4 in landscape, and 3:4 in portrait.
HOT DOG Linux does not use Automatic Reference Counting. It causes problems with type-checking during compilation (it is too strict).
HOT DOG Linux is an acronym that stands for Horrible Obsolete Typeface and Dreadful Onscreen Graphics for Linux.
$ sh makeUtils.sh $ perl build.pl To run the window manager: $ ./hotdog runWindowManager To run the iPod style interface: $ ./hotdog
Aqua mode uses 'compton' for window drop shadows and 'feh' to set the wallpaper.
Some of the Perl scripts use the JSON module.
