Don't use the tool directly, use it with GCC as you found: > 2.

If you mix with uClibc from elsewhere, then it may fail. Note that some toolchains don't have uClinux no-MMU support. Unfortunately there isn't a good site pointing to all the latest good toolchains for each target. (By the way, you will need a bigger value than 1024 in the option -Wl,-elf2flt,-s32768. That shouldn't affect compiling and linking, but 1024 is too small and the program is likely to have problems when you run it.) > it seems the elf2flt.ld need some modification, if I guess correctly. That's right. With all the toolchains I used, though, which come with their own uClibc, elf2flt.ld is already correct. Oh, unless you're using C++. C++ doesn't work properly with older toolchains.

They both work for creating C executables which run on uClinux. Yes, the links on uclinux.org are obsolete. Search the archive of this mailing list for more recent suggests. The Codesourcery ones get mentioned a lot. > BTW, I have use build root to re-get the toolchain.

(But I'm intrigued by the possibility of compressed section support in binutils, which I hadn't noticed before :-) Your solution is to get a toolchain that others have used, better a more recent one, try a C program first (because C++ doesn't always work on older toolchains), and don't mix with other libraries. So try a "hello world" program first :-) -- Jamie _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev
