Solution 1

To be honest, if you have to ask, you have no idea of the scale of the problem.

A GUI OS is a major piece of software - man years of work to get right. Do you know (for example) how to draw a line? An Arc? Text?

The required software to build one is a compiler (or cross compiler) for your target machine (though an assembler will do at a pinch, just double the man years estimate).
