yesterday i update my linux ubuntu to the version 9.04. i tried to compile my os and the linker give me the following errors:
Code:

as you can see, it can't found the function written in assembly and declared as global (in the asm file), and as extern in the .c file. I don't change nothing, it simpli start not to work. Any solution? thanks..

EDIT: of course, also the warning is the first time that came.. before i haven't got any problem..

Did you clean all of the old compiled files and recompile the entire thing from scratch?

Could you please attatch that .sh file? It looks like something isn't getting linked.

Hi,

In addition to the comments above, all of those undefined symbols appear to be assembly functions. Have you rebuilt your cross-toolchain and ensured that your assembler is placing files where the linker expects them?

Cheers,
Adam

i don't think that is a problem with the .sh file... otherwise i havan't change nothing... it simply start not to link.. now i'll try to recompile the gcc..

All those functions are probably assembly functions and theres a problem with the leading underscore settings. You have declared the asm functions as '_gdt_flush'... Change it or get some setting for your compiler/assembler.

i have tried but nothing... i also tried to change the output format of nasm, from elf to aout, and it don't give me the linker error. Of course, i can't load the kernel because it isn't recognised...

i also tried to write [GLOBAL name_of_function] in the asm file instead of global name_of_function but the problem still the same..

You really should let us see the .sh file you're using to build, it may be leaving out some files when linking. You also might want to try using objdump to check if the missing functions are ending up in their object files after compilation/assembly.
