+# The arm-stmos toolchain
+
+A special binutils/gcc toolchain is necessary to build stmos and associated
+programs. For convenience, a bash script has been written to attempt to automate
+the majority of the compilation/installation process. This process is based of
+off various tutorials from [osdev.org](wiki.osdev.org). 
+  
+Some programs are required for the build process. A list can be found [here]
+(https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler#Installing_Dependencies). Once
+installed, just run the script:  
+```
+./create-toolchain.sh
+```  
+It should be safe to re-run the script, if necessary.  
+  
+After successful installation, be sure to add the toolchain to your path ($HOME
+/arm-stmos/bin). Then, follow these steps to build pdclib and the crt0: 
+* Cd to src/pdclib
+* Make sure the Makefile does not have the ```-g``` flag set under CFLAGS
+* Build pdclib (make)
+* Copy pdclib.a to ~/arm-stmos/lib/gcc/arm-stmos/8.2.0/libc.a
+* Add the ```-g``` flag to CFLAGS in the Makefile; Rebuild pdclib
+* Copy pdclib.a to ~/arm-stmos/lib/gcc/arm-stmos/8.2.0/libg.a
+* Cd to the stmos root directory; run ```make crt```
+* Copy crt0.o ~/arm-stmos/lib/gcc/arm-stmos/8.2.0/crt0.o
+  
+Now everything should be ready. Build stmos, run it, hope it works.
