GCC Cross Compiling help

[Warrior]

Hello all, I seem to be having problems with my GCC cross compiler.

I compiled binutils and gcc just fine and I can know use $target-gcc to compile files. The issue comes with linking, is there a need to compile "ld" again for the host OS or something?

When I tried to link object files I get the following errors:

"PE operations on a non PE file"

When I try to just create an EXE via -o parameter in C I get unreferenced alloca and main.

I'm not an avid Linux user so most of this is new to me.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

'ld' is part of binutils. You will find a $target-ld in the same place as your $target-gcc.

Alright, I've done something wrong. I also misread the FAQ in which versions were compatible (It seemed to contridict itself sometimes) but I'm redownloading with binutils 2.16 and gcc 3.4.3

Thanks

Sorry for the double post, but I got it working. The problem was (as with the previous) was enviroment variables werent being saved. I simple set it to create temp ones in a startup script and was happily on my way.

I just appended /usr/cross/bin to PATH and made TARGET be i586-elf

So then I can do

$TARGET-gcc and $TARGET-ld and other utils

Thanks!
