So I'm deciding to not build a cross-compiler because it.. it takes too long.
Because of that, I'm using these as my GCC args:
Code: Select all
-ffreestanding -mgeneral-regs-only -Wall -Wextra -Werror
But, when I compile, I get this error:
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/../../../x86_64-linux-gnu/Scrt1.o: in function `_start':
(.text+0x17): undefined reference to `main'
I've tried adding
but that doesn't work, I get another error:
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 0000000000001000
ld: attempted static link of dynamic object `build/main.o'
Added
, still didn't work, got this error:
Code: Select all
ld: cannot use executable file 'build/main.o' as input to a link
So yeah. I'm out of ideas
UPDATE: I added -m32... that made it WAY worse.
Code: Select all
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find Scrt1.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/12/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc

When you compile source files to object files (.o) files are you passing the -c option to compile to object? Almost seems as if your object files are actually executables.

Did you forget to use the -j option when you ran make? Plus, why does it matter how long it takes when you only need to build the cross-compiler once?

Well... I should probably build one. I am going to upload it to a private GitHub repo so I can just download it when I need it.
EDIT: I'm giving up on compiling a cross-compiler... Here's the reason.
The laptop I'm doing all of this on has about 250GB of storage. Most of that is games. So I only have about 10GB~. So, whenever I build, my storage gets full, so I have to completely unregister WSL as a quick solution.

Just buy an external SSD for your laptop. They’re really cheap nowadays.

Okay, so I'm working on the GDT on the start-from-scratch version, but I dont know what to fill in for the code and data segments. I've updated the
GitHub Repo, so you guys can help.

No you didn't. Part of your code is missing.

Unless you're doing something unusual, you want to set the base to 0 and the limit to 0xFFFFF in both segment descriptors.
You're storing your GDT in a local variable. Do you know why that's a problem?
Your GDTR limit is off by one. It'll still work, but details are important when you're writing an OS.
You never actually tell the CPU to use your GDT.

So I did all what you said, but I now get this error when I build:
Code: Select all
ld: build/boot.o: in function `start':
src/boot.asm:(.text+0x0): multiple definition of `start'; build/boot.o:src/boot.asm:(.text+0x0): first defined here
How do I fix this?

Oh .. I read the linker page, and I thought I could add it. Fixing it now
