Re: Still having a problem building elks kernel (nospam: message 16 of 20)

Ok!

By using Ubuntu 9.10 i386 and applying the following changes to a
fresh download of the elks-0.1.3.tar.gz before doing make config, make
dep, make Image:

edit /arch/i86/boot/setup.S line 588 remove () from around CONFIG_CPU_80386
edit /arch/i86/drivers/char/Keymaps/mkcfg change "sort +1f" to "sort -f"

I was able to get 95% there.  It still errors out during linking of the image.

as86 -0  -o boot/crt0.o boot/crt0.s
(cd ../.. ; ld86 -0 -i   \
		arch/i86/boot/crt0.o arch/i86/boot/crt1.o \
		init/main.o kernel/kernel.a fs/fs.a lib/lib.a net/net.a
fs/minix/minixfs.a arch/i86/kernel/akernel.a arch/i86/lib/lib86.a
arch/i86/mm/mm.a  arch/i86/drivers/char/chr_drv.a
arch/i86/drivers/block/blk_drv.a \
		-t -M -o arch/i86/boot/system > System.tmp ; \
		sort -k4 System.tmp > System.map ; rm -f System.tmp )

However, by manually linking using the sample from Harley...

cd ../.. ; ld86 -0 -i \
-t -M -o arch/i86/boot/system \
arch/i86/boot/crt0.o arch/i86/boot/crt1.o \
init/main.o kernel/kernel.a fs/fs.a lib/lib.a net/net.a
fs/minix/minixfs.a arch/i86/kernel/akernel.a arch/i86/lib/lib86.a
arch/i86/mm/mm.a arch/i86/drivers/char/chr_drv.a
arch/i86/drivers/block/blk_drv.a \
> System.tmp ; \
sort -k4 System.tmp > System.map ; rm -f System.tmp

...then allowing make Image to finish, I was successful!

So, why does make Image try to link differently then Harley's example?
 Does Arch vs Ubuntu really have anything to do with it?
