Re: linker problem ? help needed !!!

[kanda1979]

Hi Nick,
Thank you very much.
Your solution is wonderful.
I got desired results.
I made my development scripts simpler.


Can you give me one more suggestion.


I want to compile multiple files C and C++ and link with gcc.

Is there any way.

Thanks,
Navi

Assuming that you are using a relatively recent version of the linker 
you can use the @<file> feature to put all of the object filenames into 
a single text file called <file>.  eg:

   echo kernel.o ckernel.o Interrupts.o common.o idt.o isr.o stdio.o 
timer.o keyboad.o Kernelheap.o paging.o > object_files

   ld -v -T ../SRC/link.ld -o kernel.sys @object_files

Cheers
