[Beginner]'Undefined reference to __main' error under Vista

[aurorain]

Hi, I have read the article "Genesis" at http://www.jamesmolloy.co.uk/tutorial_h ... nesis.html

When I try to link the two files boot.o and main.o, I got the following infomation:

C:\users\sharlith\backup\nasm\nasm -f elf boot.s
gcc -nostdlib -nostdinc -fno-builtin -fno-stack-protector -c main.c
main.c:1: warning: 'struct multiboot' declared inside parameter list
main.c:1: warning: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
ld Link.ld -o kernel boot.o main.o
main.o:main.c:(.text+0x7): undefined reference to `__main'
make: *** [link] Error 1

Can anyone tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks!



Here is the version info of my gcc:

Built by Equation Solution <http://www.Equation.com>.
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-pc-mingw32
Configured with: ../gcc-4.4.0-mingw/configure --host=i386-pc-mingw32 --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --target=i386-pc-mingw32 --prefix=/home/gfortran/gcc-home/binary/mingw32/native/x86_32/gcc/4.4.0 --with-gcc --with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as --disable-shared --disable-nls --disable-tls --with-gmp=/home/gfortran/gcc-home/binary/mingw32/native/x86_32/gmp --with-mpfr=/home/gfortran/gcc-home/binary/mingw32/native/x86_32/mpfr --enable-languages=c,fortran,c++ --with-sysroot=/home/gfortran/gcc-home/binary/mingw32/cross/x86_32/gcc/4.4.0 --enable-libgomp --enable-threads=win32 --disable-win32-registry
Thread model: win32
gcc version 4.4.0 (GCC)

And my Makefile:

SOURCES = boot.o main.o

CFLAGS = -nostdlib -nostdinc -fno-builtin -fno-stack-protector
LDFLAGS = Link.ld
ASFLAGS = -f elf

main.o: main.c
gcc $(CFLAGS) -c main.c

all: $(SOURCES) link

clean:
-del *.o kernel

link:
ld $(LDFLAGS) -o kernel $(SOURCES)

.s.o:
C:\users\sharlith\backup\nasm\nasm $(ASFLAGS) $<

Simple answer, you forgot a semicolon before the definition of struct multiboot

(Either that, or you used "struct multiboot *mb" in the arguments to your main)

With the linker error, check the underscore settings and try doing an objdump on the object files to find out what the true name of the main function is.
