Hello:

I hate to be asking questions all the time, but I'm stuck...
I was wondering if anyone here could provide me with a pre-compiled version of the GNU binutils. I can't seem to get them compiled on my PC. Resources or something.

Thanks!
David

Considering that the crosscompiler tutorial is most often a test of reading skills, you just failed. Try again.

But since you asked, try to grab an OS/2 build here

You misunderstood me. I did not read anything, neither do I have to. I have done this before on other PC's, just not on this one. I am fully capable of understanding what I read.

By the way, I took a build off an old PC I had stashed away. (Yes I know, should of thought of that before I posted.)

P.S. I score way above 90 on standardized reading tests. I think you didn't read what you posted on that link, it has nothing to do with OS/2 builds. [Okay, I'm know what you mean, I have a sense of humor.]

Why does this remind me of someone a couple of weeks ago?

The fact that you did not read the wiki / other tutorials when you hit a problem tells us that you are lazy.
And the fact that you did not post the error you encountered when compiling you cross-compiler tells us that you are an idiot.
Go and read the GCC_Cross-Compiler on the wiki and come back if you find a problem that is not mentioned in the wiki.

Hello there!

I really don't think that describes me at all well. Naturally I wouldn't think so any more than you would if I said the same about you. [I'm not however, I don't know what you know, an I don't think I want to.]

Anyway, I realize that I should have been clearer. However, I didn't get any errors. It just wouldn't do it and I got bored. I don't know what happened.

Anyway, I got a GUI working [very limited of course], and things seem to be coming along nicely.

Of course you're not an idiot. You just can't build cross-binutils, didn't post a log and... forgot to mention your guest OS.

Anyway, I realize that I should have been clearer. However, I didn't get any errors. It just wouldn't do it and I got bored. I don't know what happened.

Thats not an error message. Thats a bonehead message. Please, for my sake, read the damn wiki, follow the damn instructions, compile the damn compiler on your windows/mac/linux/bsd/etc, w/e. Becoming bored is not an option if you want a cross compiler. Taking a build off of an old one may or may not work.

And where can I find some damn dam bait!?

Tell me what your host & target architecture-os and I'll try to provide one. I've only ever made a x86-win32 to x86-linux since I only have one x86 PC with Windows and Linux as OSes.

I said I've done it before.

I really think you should watch your language. Using word's like that are...

I'm on x86 system runing XP, 233MHz. I actually took a build from another machine, [out of my 8] but I haven't tested it yet, I think though it is an old version.

Anyway, thanks all for the input, criticisms, etc.

Ah, I missed this extra clarity provided by you, I am so sorry. It gave no errors and it just didn't work The problem is that you don't love your computer enough. You should try patting it and giving it rewards when it does its chores right. I love my computer long time and it provides me with pr0n in exchange.

Well, it's okay that you got bored. If you get bored some more we'll write your OS for you too. Don't worry, everyone here does it.

Love4Boobies wrote:The problem is that you don't love your computer enough.

You're right there. I don't care for this particular machine. I use it for testing mainly. As too patting it, I'd rather beat on it, or send a fist through the CPU, but then I'd really be in for problems. The problem with PC's is that you can't hit one to force it to do what you want.

Anyway, I don't think there is any need for us to keep at each throat's other any more. We could argue on and on, but it wouldn't help our OS dev'ing.

As to writing my OS, I can take care of that. Thanks anyway.

David

Nah, I've nothing personal against you. Just follow the tutorial and build your own toolchain. It's annoying when there's so many people failing to read the most basic stuff and the complaining. If they can't handle building something they shouldn't be here in the first place. Laziness is no excuse IMHO. Remember that and you'll get along with everyone else here

I'll have another go at it. I been a pretty small person if I don't admit I was wrong in trying to get you to do something I didn't want to do again myself. I just figured maybe someone already had it and could share. (See what laziness can drive a person to?) If you look at my previous posts, I never denied being lazy. I'll work harder in the future.

David

P.S. Cool quote about the 1.5 ton PC's

No luck, I simply can't do anything on this horrible machine.

Since it won't do what I want anyway, I really think I will do just what I said.

OK, I'm just going to work on my other PC's.

What language? So "damn" is a bad word now? If this keeps up I won't be able to say "Oh, darn it". Honestly, english is a worse enough language without taking words out of it. Don't tell me to watch my language, especially when my language wasn't bad, like, at all.

I'm lazy. Now give me code and binarys! See, doing that may get you stuff, but it really doesn't count, and you'll get bored beyond boredom. Honestly, if you aren't willing to do these simple tasks then don't even try to make an OS. Save us all some time. Getting bored is fine, but if you give up every time you get bored....
