joshua stein 0d215b5548 Build: Sprinkle some portability, fix on OpenBSD
realpath(1) is specific to coreutils and its behavior can be had
with readlink -f

Create the Toolchain Build directory if it doesn't exist before
calling readlink, since realpath(3) on at least OpenBSD will error
on a non-existent path

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

Build status Fuzzing Status

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
