Hot on the heels of Jordan's little announcement, I'm looking for a
linker guru (John P?) to resolve the "put the pieces together" part for
the user code.
The scenario is this : most of the emulator code goes into a module
called "doscmd.kernel". This has a private crt0.o module, and its
own main() function. It's linked as :
doscmd.kernel: crt0.o ${OBJS}
ld -N -T 110000 -o doscmd.kernel ${LDFLAGS} crt0.o ${OBJS} ${LDADD}
This is then loaded by a bootstrapper, "doscmd", that reads the OMAGIC
format kernel in at its load address, and jumps to said start address.
Its built as :
doscmd: doscmd.kernel doscmd_loader.o
ld -N -o doscmd ${LDFLAGS} /usr/lib/crt0.o doscmd_loader.o ${LDADD}
In both cases:
LDFLAGS+=-L/usr/X11R6/lib
LDADD+= -lX11 -lc
The former builds (after some work 8) but linking dies thus:
ld -N -T 110000 -o doscmd.kernel -L/usr/X11R6/lib crt0.o AsyncIO.o ParseBuffer.o bios.o cmos.o config.o cwd.o device.o disktab.o doscmd.o exe.o i386-pinsn.o inout.o int10.o int11.o int12.o int13.o int14.o int15.o int16.o int17.o int1a.o int20.o int21.o int2f.o int33.o intff.o mem.o port.o setver.o signal.o trace.o trap.o tty.o -lX11 -lc
ld: No reference to __DYNAMIC
The second fails with :
cc -O -I/sys -I/usr/X11R6/include -I. -DDISASSEMBLER -c doscmd_loader.c
ld -N -o doscmd -L/usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/crt0.o doscmd_loader.o -lX11 -lc
doscmd_loader.o: Undefined symbol `___main' referenced from text segment
I'm aware I probably haven't covered enough here for a full answer, but if
anyone can offer any suggestions, I'm keen. Alternatively, I'll put what
diffs I have somewhere that said enthusiast can get at to alleviate the
tedium of getting the rest to compile.
