Link error: relocation truncated to fit: R_386_16 against
Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2007 8:43 am
So I ive taken up the challenge of OS design and am attempting to write a small protected mode OS.
So far I have a 'Hello World' Kernel that boots from grub inside a bochs environment.
Now im trying to take control of the GDT by adding in a little protected mode code.The problem is now when I link in my protected mode code I get a linker error:
pmode.o: In function `pmodeinit':
pmode.asm:(.text+0x7): relocation truncated to fit: R_386_16 against `.data'
pmode.asm:(.text+0x2d): relocation truncated to fit: R_386_16 against `.text'
Ive read the other thread regarding relocation truncated, and assume it has somthing to do with 16 vs 32bit but havent the slightest how to fix it.
Code listing follows...
