Hello all,
I was trying to install oskit on a freebsd 4.2 system. i have the most
current version of oskit. however when i do a configure i notice that
i get the following error:
configure: warning: Cannont build BSD boot adaptor (boot/bsd) as
linker does not support a.out format
I looked at some old emails and found this information from a
Leigh Stoller <stoller@fast.cs.utah.edu>:
"Anyway, the oskit requires an a.out linker to
create BSD a.out images (from ELF binaries) that the BSD boot loader can
load. We do this by compiling a binutils that can deal with both a.out and
elf formats. Something like:
/build/src/binutils-2.9.1/configure --prefix=/build/tools
--target=i386-mach \
--enable-targets=i386-mach,i386-unknown-freebsdelf3.0
Then setenv AOUT_LD to:
/build/tools/bin/i386-mach-ld -m i386mach"
i downloaded the latest binutils which was version 2.10.1 and i used
the exact configure stuff like above and i put the setenv in my
.cshrc.
when i tried to do a configure again on oskit i got the same error
again. what am i doing wrong? any help would be greatly appreciated.
sincerely,
jason
