I'm new to this OS programming...

so I was wondering what tools I would need (like nasm, g++ ld etc) and I wonderd if I could use the standard libraries in c++ or if I have to make all the functions in asm...

1) Check out the thread "Quick Links - Read this before you post";

2) Unless you implement / port a standard library to your to-be-made OS, you won't have one. Basically, whatever comes after #include has to be either self-written or ported.

note, however, that is need not to be implemented in asm. It could be done in C or C++ or whatever.

Also keep in mind that despite it could theorically be done, starting a C++ kernel is way more difficult than starting one in C ...

Weren't we all ;D

Here is a nice tip:
Old posts are STILL usable.
So don't be afraid to go to page 20 (Just for example) of the posts.
Many people forget this tip and post their problem which may have been answered already.

We'll still forgive ya if ya post already answered questions (-X
