I downloaded the Minix source code through git:
git clone git://git.minix3.org/minix minixsrc
Then I followed the instructions on Crosscompiling MINIX with build.sh and ran the command
sh build.sh -mi386 -O ../build tools
Now I have been waiting for about an hour for it to compile and it is continuously showing messages on my terminal like this:
# compile libclangSema/SemaExprMember.lo

mv SemaExprMember.lo.o SemaExprMember.lo
My question is, how long should this process take? Is something wrong?
OS: Linux Mint 18 64bit
CPU: Intel Core i7-5500U CPU @ 2.4GHz x 2
I believe it should take this long to do the job. It took me about 2 hours for the sh build.sh -mi386 -O ../build tools c to finish and it completed successfully and I got the build tools. After that process I ran the sh build.sh -mi386 -O ../build -U distribution command and that also took a number of hours. I ended up with the built distribution of MINIX which is what was expected of the process. It seems after that there is no way to turn this into an ISO though.
