I think this is a wierd topic....
What should I have to do to have a program "compiled" on my system????

1) Don't post in "design & theory", but the "OS Development" thread.

2) Focus on asking a smart question, not a colorful one. (Besides, I hate cyan.)

3) You ask what you need to have a program compiled on your system. Let me make sure I got the question right:

3a) "How do I compile a program?" - If you have to ask that, try a generic programming tutorial instead of anything OS-related.

3b) "How do I compile a program for my OS?" - You need a working kernel including executable loader, library, and runtime environment for userspace code, and a cross-compiler (which you most likely have used already to compile your kernel). Simply compile the program with the OS-specific stuff ("freestanding", "no-stdlib" etc. etc.) taken out, and link it with your OS' runtime.

3c) "How do I compile a program on my OS?" - You need to compile your compiler into an executable for your OS as described in 3b).

Excuse me if the answers are a bit generic. Ask a better question to get a better answer.

writing text in cyan with a shedload of emoticons is not a good idea.

The question itself was without detail but that was a secondary matter to me.

EDIT: edited after reading Solar's comment.

Please refrain from using your weird teen slang in this forum. Somebody isn't understanding you right.

You've managed partial self hosting in your OS and you even do not know to write a hello world program?

What brynet-inc was commenting on was that in no way could my reply be construed as a death threat. "Violent shuddering" is a convulsive shivering caused by reading or seeing something of dislike. Draw your own conclusions

Well lets put in some etiquette comments:
ad 1) This line is ok, it seems genuine.
ad 2) It seems that the remarks have worked, you intend todo better in the future.
ad 3) see ad 1.
ad 4) A sudden slide in the wrong direction. The use of bold and a remark that we have to take your mistakes into account because of a wierd reason.
ad 5) Sliding further way to many emoticons.
ad 6) Sliding even more because of the shouting.
ad 7) Hitting rock bottom, because of the stupid bcoz, abt, tht. Most of the people here speak english instead of the child speak. Use because, about and that in the future.

Summarizing: It started of well, but became hopeless in the end.

So try again i would say.

I think we bashed him enough. Give him some time, I have a feeling he's one of those who will adapt.
