Haiku Slideshow

Welcome to our screenshot tour of the system. Click on the preview images to open the fullsize version (1152 x 864 pixel). After Haiku is installed on your hard disk, it boots up in only a few seconds. LiveCDs and USB sticks take a bit longer... Further reading: Get Haiku!, Installation Guide, Boot Loader When booting from CD you first choose a language and keymap, then decide to either install Haiku to a partition or try it out in live mode.

Ideas

Qualifying students can apply for a Haiku project (see the list of suggested projects below) between April 22nd and May 3rd, 2013. For details about how to apply, please check out Students: How to Apply for a Haiku Idea. According to other mentor organizations, the most successful Google Summer of Code projects are the ones proposed by the students themselves. The following list represents our ideas and wishes of our project.

Compiling Haiku for PowerPC

PowerPC Compiler Toolset Building the PowerPC compiler toolset is quite easy and involves generating gcc binaries for your platform. For a complete list of flags for the configure script, see Haiku's Configure Options From the haiku source directory, run the following. (be sure to adjust the options to match your build environment.) ./configure --cross-tools-source ../buildtools --build-cross-tools ppc If you want to run configure again to tweak some more options, you need to tell it to configure for PowerPC.

VirtualBox Serial Debugging on Windows

This tutorial uses VirtualBox version 4.2.6. You can set Port Mode as either Host Pipe Mode or Raw File Mode when serial debugging with VirtualBox. With Raw File Mode, you can easily and quickly save the debugged onto a .txt file whereas it might be rather difficult for to check out the content of debugging real time. When it comes to Host Pipe Mode, it’s a little more complicated than the Raw File Mode, but you can confirm what is being debugged real time.

Virtualizing Haiku in Hyper-V

For Google Code-In 2017, Arnav Bhatt created a video on how to install Haiku in Hyper-V [11 MiB]. There are two methods for installing Haiku: RAW images and Anyboot images. RAW images consist of a pre-installed environment, whereby the Virtual Hard Disk is of a fixed size. By using a RAW image, you do not need to go through the installation process. The Anyboot images, on the other hand, can be burnt to a CD-RW or DVD-RW, or even a USB drive but they can also be used in Hyper-V, to create a virtual CD-ROM that can be used to install Haiku onto a virtual Hard Disk or even to just boot into Haiku directly.

VirtualBox Serial Debugging on Linux

This tutorial describes using a feature of VirtualBox that writes the output of a serial port into a file on the host machine. Because Haiku, by default, writes debug information to the COM1 port, you can use it to quickly extract stacktraces to text files, for example. This tutorial is based on following tools: Debian Wheezy VirtualBox 4.1.18 Haiku R1A4.1 It should also work on platforms other than Linux.

Virtualizing Haiku in Bochs

The required files can be found on the “Get Haiku” page of this website which is located here.Both the raw and anyboot images are available there, do select the closest mirror to enjoy higher transfer rates. Bochs is available for free on their website which can be found here. Go to section: Running Haiku from a Raw or Anyboot image. Additional Steps. Troubleshooting. Running Haiku from a Raw or Anyboot image.

Installing a Haiku Image to a Disk Partition

This guide describes how to install Haiku from Linux on a spare hard disk partition directly without using a CD-ROM or USB memory key. It is assumed that you are already running Linux and have prepared an empty partition for Haiku. Download Haiku You need to download an Anyboot image from the Haiku website. Convert Anyboot to a raw image Anyboot images are a combination of ISO and raw images.
