Hi!

I am currently struggling with porting the Newlib to bare metal OS. I am following steps here on the wiki but got make errors on building the newlib. I am not even on the step of implementing the syscalls. The only task is to port it, nothing more. This job is paid for an amount of 100$. Any volunteers?

--UPD
The library is built(all functions are empty, do nothing). I am stuck on the actual port of it to OS. Still looking for the volunteers

I've as well been struggling with it in the past. However, recently retried and did it in less than a day! That's why I want to encourage you to do it yourself, it really yields a satisfactory experience when you're done.

Since you've not already made it to the system calls, why did you fail? Maybe building autotools?

Yeah, there was a silly mistake by me as I use WSL2, I have mistaken the PATH variables, so there were a lot of problems related to autotools. Even though the lib is built, it seems that I am linking it wrong, when including stdio from Newlib and using printf, the linked complains that printf is not defined. The 15 stubs in Newlib were implemented on a minimal level, as described on the RedHat website. But still, undefined reference to printf...
I link like this :
i686-elf-ld -T link.ld libc.a libg.a libm.a libnosys.a -o kernel kernel.o
Am I linking it wrong?

--UPD

Yes, I was doing it wrong, the libraries should go after the file, so correct will be :
i686-elf-ld -T link.ld -o kernel kernel.o libc.a libg.a libm.a libnosys.a
