Installing procedures

1. Install VirtualBox

2. Download zipped MINIX-LCOM image

3. Extract the image from the zip

4. Open the .vbox file using Virtual Box

   • double-clicking the file should execute Virtual Box with the settings for the MINIX-LCOM VM

5. You need to share a folder under the MINIX-LCOM/ folder that you unzipped above. Create a directory (e.g.: shared) for this.

6. Clone the repository in the shared folder

git clone [email protected]:YZ1GO/L.EIC018_LC_PRJ.git

How to run

1. You can now start the VM. The VM should start even if the shared folder configuration is not fixed. It will issue a warning, but this does not prevent Minix from booting. Of course, there will be no shared folders.

• The credentials for login are: lcom with password lcom.

2. Build and run the project

cd labs/L.EIC018_LC_PRJ/proj/src
make
lcom_run proj

3. If game crashes you can do (in a remote terminal):

lcom_stop proj

"Remote" Access via SSH

Rather than using the VBox terminal, you may use a terminal on the host OS (Linux, Windows or Mac) and the ssh utility to login to Minix 3.

After opening a terminal (in Ubuntu or Windows) you can do:

ssh lcom@localhost -p 2222
