Hey, when I try to use ld like it shows inthe tutorial, it won't work. I get the following:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
C:\DJGPP\KenStuff>ld -Ttext 0x100000 -oformat binary -o kernel32.bin kernel32.o
c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot open binary: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

thanx for any help

Just put your *.o file in the bin directory for
DJGPP. From that directory, try to link it.

did you put a space between "-o" and "format"? don't

or maybe you have to say "--oformat" instead, I dunno

even if I put it in the bin dir. I get the same error. I can compile it from C:\DJGPP\KenStuff even though GCC is in c:\djgpp\bin,so why can't I ld it from there? UGH

Hmm...I had this same problem starting out using DJGPP,
but I forgot how I fixed it. Sorry.

hmmmmmm......I tihnk I'll ask on Cprogramming.com's General Discuss board
if you have the answer go there! or post here....I'll check back...

Hello,
The only problem you have is definitely with
the "--oformat" option when you were linking, for
one thing that is DJGPP takes in two kinds of
options one kind have the double hash and with a
verbal option name (e.g. --oformat), on the other
hand DJGPP takes the regular kind of options (e.g.
-h for help). These properties of DJGPP will make sure
the option is either "--" (double hash and verbal)
or "-" (single hash with shortened option). Hope
that this is helpful, if you find any problem feel
