Hello everydoby,
it's been ages since I have written on this board and now i am back online with nice news.
I was able to get a fully working cross-compiler on Windows (for i686-elf) which I am using to create my AspensSYS OS. I have published the toolchain online on my website and I hope it will be useful to the Windows Users.
Nice work. Even though it's not that hard to build a cross-compiler, it can be a nuisance (errors popping up) and can take some time, especially on slower computers. I've got a cross-compiler for Windows on my project website too.
Host (environment): Cygwin
Target: i586-elf
Binutils 2.19.1
GCC 4.4.1 (C and C++ enabled).
YASM 0.8.0
The components are slightly different, maybe it's of some use to anyone too. I know it's listed as 'Dynamix Build Environment', but nothing in there is actually dependant on my OS, it's just a regular toolchain like any other.
When the chance of succeeding is 99%, there is still a 50% chance of that success happening.
Looks nice dude.... but I have always hated the Cygwin environment since it was too close to Linux and not suitable for everyday programmig on Windows (that's why I built my Cross Compiler with MinGW) but it is just my opinion.
