How to make a GDT?

[zap8600]

The symbol name depends on the file name. Your font is named "font/unifont.sfn" instead of "console.sfn", so you need to replace "_binary_console_sfn_start" with "_binary_font_unifont_sfn_start".

I had my font named that because inside the kernel folder, I have a folder called font, which is where the file is. Thanks though.

I'm now getting this error.

I'm assuming that the linker.ld file needs to be modified. Am I correct?

You need to build your libgcc with either -mcmodel=large or -mcmodel=kernel.

I don't think Make is aware that you've rebuilt/reinstalled libgcc. Delete crtbegin.o and crtend.o and try again.

I didn't read your problem alot but I guess this happens while you are trying to switch your OS from 32 bit to 64 bit.


- When switching to 64 bit mode, if you want the address of a label you must add the "rel" prefix to relocateable symbols like the ones declared in the data and bss section. This will make nasm generate a 64 bit relocation entry.
So instead of :

Code: Select all

mov eax, [SomeVariable]

Type :

Code: Select all

mov eax, [rel SomeVariable]

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I am not using nasm. I'm using the BOOTBOOT protocol. It starts my kernel in long mode at the start.

Can you provide a link to your OS in github ?

Can you provide a link to your OS in github ?

I can. I've been having some trouble with Github lately, so my code isn't there. I will upload have to upload the code sometime later. Sorry about that. The link is https://github.com/zap8600/CCOS-new.

However as I said before, the following message means that you're accessing the 32 bit relocated address of this symbol instead of the 64 bit one. Are you using your own CRT? If not then it is probably that your CRT is 32 bit and the linker only relocates 64 bit symbols.

relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32 against symbol `__TMC_END__'

That didn't work.

Looks like you need to delete kernel.o too.

libc /libgcc has nothing to do with this. The errors clearly came from his code.

You need to delete kernel.o so that gets rebuilt.

Are you talking about the crtn.S and crti.S files? If so, then I am using x86_64 files.

[nexos]

Like I said in my above post, it has nothing to do with that. Try deleting kernel.o and see what that does.
