HELP NEEDED!!!!!!!

[hanumant]

HI
i was running into support issues with DJGPP, so i switched to cygwin
and installed the gcc cross compiler as shown in teh wiki page , however
now when i run the make file it gives the following error

/usr/cross/bin/i586-elf-ld: target elf32-i586 not found
make: *** [kernel] Error 1

everything else compiles . This error was teh reason i switched from DJGPP to cygwin , still i am stuck at the same place. Please help


this is my makefile
# Use the cross-compiler...
CC = /usr/cross/bin/i586-elf-gcc-4.1.1

CFLAGS += -Wall -O -fstrength-reduce -fomit-frame-pointer -finline-functions -nostdinc -fno-builtin

In link.ld, do you have the line OUTPUT_FORMAT ( elf32-i586 )? If so, change the elf32-i586 to elf32-i386 and it should work. The i386 refers to a 32-bit version of the ELF format for Intel compatibles, you are still generating i586 code from your cross-compiled gcc. You can get a list of the supported targets by running i586-elf-ld --help.

John.

The rest of your question should be solved by the previous answer. This makefile is more maintainable and does the same.
