<0> anyone can help me with a problem concerning multiboot?
<1> maybe?
<0> I have a binary file (43 bytes) with a multiboot header. It just prints a char on screen an halts, but GRUB won't load it
<1> 43 bytes... unusual
<2> 43 bytes? sounds impossible
<1> "GRUB wont load it" - interesting error message from GRUB, I think, I should talk to them so that they implement more informative error messages
<2> did you provide proper loading information?
<2> hmm
<0> It says Invalid or unsupported executable format. I just had to run it again to see it
<1> maybe you should really try to use a supported executeable format
<1> ELF is a nice binary format
<0> Yeah, but I have loaded binaries before. I actually always done it. But now I moved to Linux and using GAS and I can't get anything to work :/
<1> ELF binaries are also binaries, you know...
<0> Yes, I know. Maybe I should try that.
<0> Before, in Windows and using NASM, I couldn't link the kernel file as ELF, so I used plain binary instead
<0> Using ELF do you then provide the extra multiboot header with addresses?
<2> no
<1> you tell your linker the addresses
<1> how comes I remember so many details from OS development even if I havent touched it since about one year?
<0> I'll try it....
<0> Thanks
<0> Tada... Using ELF it works just fine!
<3> :)
<3> cursed library of doom.
<0> Can I in GAS create a local label that is not exported as a symbol?
<4> as far as i remember gas wont export until you tell it to export by using global
<0> It seems it does anyway..
<0> Don't know if my configuration is odd :)
<2> it doesn
<2> 't export it, but it is still included in symbol table
<0> When I use objdump it seems that all labels are included
<2> indeed
<2> they aren't exported
<2> but they're included for debugging and stuff
<0> Ah, now I understand
<2> strip can remove them
<0> But can I then remove symbols that is not exported?
<0> strip you say?
<0> A command line utility?
<2> also, it doesn't include labels that begin with .L or something IIRC
<2> yeah
<0> ok, I'll try to strip my file. Thanks
<0> "strip -g -x file" did what I wanted
<5> hey can anyone maybe help me with a reason as to why I can't print to the screen? I know, I know.. I've read tuts, and I know how this should be laid out, I just don't know exactly why it won't show up. http://rafb.net/p/h5AoBM40.html
<0> Takuya: "unsigned char text" (the parameter of kprint) recieves an integer, not a string. You need to recieve a pointer "char * text" and loop through the characters and print each of them.
<5> yeah ne vermind..
<5> I totally had my code flummoxed :p
<5> I have it working now
<0> :-)
<6> yo
<7> morning
<7> gtg :P
<8> ..pff :P
<7> morning irc hehehe
<7> cya :
<8> Yea, here too
<7> hehehe
<8> bye
<7> i shoudl be in bus in 10 min :P
<8> :D
<7> and gotta brush teeth :P
<8> Hurry up!
<8> You'll make it!
<7> re
<9> I dislike the FreeBSD installer
<7> i like qnx repository system
<9> it looks like Slackware 10 years ago
<9> what again was the advantage of any BSD system compared to Linux?
<7> linux is communism, bsd is just plain evil? :)
<9> and now for one who does not know the meaning of the words "communism" and "evil"
<7> it was a joke, there for it had :) in it
<7> k bye
<7> food
<8> kthxbye!
<8> :D
<10> hey y'all
<10> JimPanic Hey!
<8> Hey :)
<10> :D
<10> How are you man!
<8> Damn much to do for school, but apart from that.. hungry.
<8> You?
<10> Yeah, Uni starts back for me in about 2 weeks.
<10> My health has been pretty bad hte past few weeks.
<10> so I took two weeks off.
<10> Starting on the successor to Zenobit, the 1dc0.2 codebase :)
<8> :D
<10> SAME Codebase, just... really awesomified up. (Zenobit already rocked ;))
<8> Refactored, and such?
<10> All ***embly code is being made to be AT&T GAS ***embled,
<10> well not refactored, just made nicer.
<8> :)
<10> like, It compiles with a jillion warnings.
<8> lol
<10> All of those warnings will be removed.
<8> Great!
<10> Same base, just rewritten to be without the crazy ... nomenclature I use
<10> Commented heavily.
<8> Sounds like much work.
<10> the entire sourcebase itself, has been reorganized, so its much more... easy to maintain
<10> more catagories, etc.
<10> problem is, I use a @!#$load of symlinks in the tree now
<8> lol
<10> like, things have proper names
<10> eg: 1dc0.1 structure zmmt_zspace
<10> is made:
<10> space_t
<10> :P
<8> lol :D
<10> things like that, just making it nicer for other people to work on
<8> Yea
<8> You should have done that in the first place..! ;P
<10> ALso, the Messsaging subsystem currently in place is glitched, so it will be rewritten, new things will be done.
<10> like the ZBP Creation tool in 1dc0.1, is bugged a little, its hacked so it works
<10> the new one, in 1dc0.2 simply called "Package BUilder"
<10> is better.
<8> Creation tool?
<10> yeah, see.. Zenobit uses ZBPs for holding data and boot.
<8> Not ELFs, or su..oh, you have your own bootloader.
<10> Its a filesystem in a file basically :P Meaning I load all I need from FAT with one file, then the OS itself can get what it needs from that filesystem, in memory.
<10> I take it you havent looked at Zenobit sourcecode in detail yet? :P
<8> No :\
<10> Anywho, I was working on the new sourcebase on a 200Mhz IBM :P
<10> but the small 80x25 terminal got far too restrictive.
<8> lol
<8> Yea.. that's what you use xterm for :P
<10> But, I hate how linux machines end up feeling 'cluttered'
<10> so I Think tonight, Ill reformat my highend dev machine :)
<8> Reformat to..?
<10> Linux to Linux :P
<10> Same distribution and such
<10> Slackware 10.2
<10> That way I can be back up and running in no time
<8> Mh, dunno what for, though?
<10> What bugs me though, is... I want to work... on a nicer GUI
<10> :P To clean up the system.
<10> To make it feel less cluttered :P
<10> Its nice to work on a clean system, its like... cleaning out your room and being like 'ah, so much nicer' Its just more productive feeling :P
<10> and personally, I feel like environment and how you feel about it, influences how you work
<8> Heh, yea.
<10> Just, Im sick of GNOME
<10> and Im kinda biased against KDE
<8> Haha!
<8> I use Xfce
<10> why?
<8> Eventually on both, workstation and laptop.
