ld linker error

[Gman]

yeah, I'm using 7, I am an admin. I also have XP on my computer, but I accedentally wiped the boot files, and I cant find my installation disk.

Edit:Also, I cannot delete the 2 .exe's in the file. When using windows explorer it tells me I need permisson from an admin, which I am, and it still wont let me. When I use the command line it tells me that the files don't exist, when I use rm *.exe in the correct directory.

[frank]

Try running bash as an admin by right clicking on the launcher and clicking Run as Administrator. Privileges in Vista and 7 are weird. Alternatively find the files in explorer right click on them go to the security tab and try to give your user all privileges.

[Gman]

It wont let me change the permissions when i run as admin, even with the super-admin. Is there a way i can make the cross compiler with Ubuntu.

[frank]

IIRC the compiler available on most Linux distros is suitable for OS deving. If you have any problems the instructions in the wiki for creating a cross compiler will most likely work under Ubuntu.

[Gman]

Ok, It compiled correctly, now I just need to learn how to use gcc on linux, It isn't the same

EDIT:New problem, I think I might have whiped one of my hard drives, The one with all my media. My computer wouldn't book, so I put in my GParted Live CD and it said the entire drive was unallocated. My Ubuntu Disk didn't see the normal partitions either. So, before I have to repartiton my only hard drive with OS's I can boot from, and ALL of my media, I thought I would ask if there was any way to get my data back. I was also smart enough not to have any backups

[pcmattman]

How so?

EDIT: Made my post, and then the preceding post was edited. I'm not responding to the data loss in this post.

[Gman]

Sorry about all of the memory loss, I know i keep changing the subject.
I changed the line, They both produce .o's. I'm getting a hex editor now to see if there is a difference.

EDIT: Yah, they look the same. The only difference is the header and footer on the elf, I'm not sure if thats what it is supposed to look like

EDIT2: I turned off my computer and my files were back
But time for the real problem.
The compiler works. I am trying to convert the .bat script to .sh, but it doesn't work, Help please

the gcc, and nasm (i dont feel like compiling all of the gcc files, so I havent tested ld) commands all work by themselves, but not in the script.
thanks

EDIT3:I'm adding a second problem
I tried installing bochs on Ubuntu and it failed, again. It failed at the make command, here is the error

Code: Select all

proc_ctrl.cc:654: error: ‘CheckPDPTR’ was not declared in this scope
proc_ctrl.cc:668: error: ‘CheckPDPTR’ was not declared in this scope

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/gerik/Desktop/bochs-2.4.1/cpu'
make: *** [cpu/libcpu.a] Error 2

thanks again.

[Solar]

Problem 1 - your script: Put a line "pwd" at its beginning to see which directory it is running in. It looks as if it cannot find your sources...

Problem 2 - That's most likely not the first (i.e., consequential) error message. Probably some message about some header file not found, earlier?

Suggestion: Once you got your script to compile, it's probably a good time to look at the Makefile tutorial. Build scripts suck...

[pcmattman]

I tried installing bochs on Ubuntu and it failed, again. It failed at the make command, here is the error

You don't need to compile Bochs on Ubuntu. You can use apt-get (or the Synaptic Package Manager) to install Bochs.

[Solar]

...including debugging support? Most binary distros I know of don't compile it in.

[pcmattman]

Ah, now that's a good reason to compile. I had forgotten about that

[Gman]

OK, I have bochs working. Thanks to pcmattman.

Ok I almost have my makefile working, but when I link the files it cannot find the routines in the a assembler code from C. I tried changing the .elf back to .o, but that gave me the same error I started with, the file not recognized error.
I think the problem is in the link.ld script, so i will include it too.
here is the error I got
I'm only going to list a couple because they are all the same

[Combuster]

Are you mixing underscore and non-underscore names in your code (there should be no leading underscores in assembly files)

[Gman]

Ok, I removed al of the underscores, and it didn't do much
