Linker for windowsxp

I'm trying to find a linker to create a mini_kernel.bin file. So far I have tried using Anthony Williams' "alink" linker available on
http://alink.sourceforge.net/download.html (2nd link from the top). But it does not give the option for creating binary formated output.

Does anyone know of a good linker that I can download and use on windows xp to creat bin files?

Thanks.

BTW: "no entry point specified", what does this mean? I often get this error.

Perhaps you need gnu ld in cygwin or djgpp flavor?

It means you failed to specify the entry point for your program. Use the "-e" flag to specify it, e.g.

Code: Select all

mbloader: setup.o mbloader.o
        ld $(LDFLAGS) -Ttext 0x108100 -e setup $^ -o $@
In the above example, the entry point is set to the start of the "setup" function.
