PE message from ld?

[mercury]

I try: Q:\finalOS>ld -Ttext 0xFF800000 --oformat binary kernelc2.o kernelasm2.o -o kernel.bin

I get: ld: PE operations on non PE file.

Can anybody tell me what that means, and why?

PE is a windows file format.
By the sounds of it, you're creating a windows file format or putting pe stuff into the file without compiling as the pe format. And that's why it's complaining. Don't ask what constitutes pe stuff though. .

Brill.

lol ok thanx. I think I got that part fixed, however, now I need to practice calling interrupts. For some reason all my computer does is reset when I try. Is that because I don't have interrupts enabled properly? I'm not up to date with x86 assembly programing. I want my Atari

How exactly did you fix your problem?

i did this topic to death on the mega-tokyo.com message board.

basically you need to rebuild binutils to support elf and pe.

when linking and creating elf output, i had to add the switch "-mi386bsd" this fixed all my errors up and produces a nice workable elf kernel

I also had that problem... I downloaded the latest version of ld and it worked fine.
