I am following a tutorial to create an operating system in C (and a little assembly), and since most of this stuff is done on linux I am having a hard time getting the various tools to work on windows. So far I am just trying to compile the code from the tutorial, and I haven't made any changes yet. This is the kernel (which gets loaded by an asm bootsector):
void dummy_test_entrypoint() {}void main() { char* video_memory = (char*) 0xb8000; *video_memory = 'X';}I am instructed to compile this using a gcc cross-compiler. And when I try to use the i386-elf-gcc windows binaries: link using the command:
i386-elf-gcc -ffreestanding -c kernel.c -o kernel.o
it gives me the error:
i386-elf-gcc: error: spawn: No such file or directory
This issue seems to be known, though I have no idea what that means. Any help would be appreciated.
