Hi guys

This is my first post in these forums, so I hope I find some helpful replies . I wonder whether you guys know a good tutorial or book on how to use the GNU tool chain effectively. Most of the tutorials on operating systems I came across comply with other tools (namely NASM) and don't explain how the job is done using GNU tools.

Thanks
Any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers

1. "The Definitive Guide to GCC" second edition. This book is good reference of GCC.
2. O'Reilly - Managing Projects with GNU make, 3rd Ed. This book is reference of the GNU make.

"The GNU toolchain" can be everything from binutils (assembler / linker) over GCC (compiler) to a full automake / autoconf setup.

If you are talking about the GNU assembler (GAS), there's info to be found in the wiki: GAS.

What previous experience do you have with other tools? The problem is there is alot to know, but if your doing osdev, you dont need to know all of it, just certain areas. Id say your best bet is read as much as you can, and ask specific questions here when you come to them. Someone is sure to help

Thanks guys I really appreciate your help.
Thanks kop99 those are the sort of books I am looking for.

Abunada, i'm glad it's help..
so, good luck for your OSDEV.
