Hello World and 405GP with my gcc cross compiling.

Thanks for all feedback. Please review my current postion.

----------------------
cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 01800074
/var/tmp/ccAEuQ8q.o: In function `ppctest':
/var/tmp/ccAEuQ8q.o(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `printf'
GNU ld version 2.9.1 (with BFD 2.9.1)
  Supported emulations:
   elf32ppc
----------------------

My current position is:

I have no problem for creating the object file, say, HelloWorld.o by using
my
gcc for powerpc-elf under a solaris. And then I moved the object file from
solaris to a PC and
used the IBM High c/C++ linker to link my Helloworld.o with the sample
"usr_samp"
codes provided by IBM 405GP reference kit. It works fine after being loaded
with
the tftp... In other words, it is running on my 405GP reference board and
print out my
inserted "hello world..."!

So, my conclusion is: my gcc for powerpc-elf works, at least for creating
object file part.

Now, why I can't direct creat the executable file but get the above compain?
Looks like
it can't find correct libc codes, for example, the __start and printf symbol
and so on.

What my environment is: I used newlib to creat my libc.a. However, I am not
sure if my native
gcc use gnulic or newlib. does this matter?

Any clue, folks,

Hua

I never had much luck linking GCC generated objects with IBM's High C/C++
linker and libraries.

I think your effort would be better invested if you grabbed the Hard Hard
Linux kernel for the 405GP from MontaVista and set-up an associated NFS
root disk and attempted your development from there.

If you follow the instructions at:

	http://www.borg.umn.edu/~grant/Linux/cross.html

The applications you create will run with Monta Vista's kernel and NFS
root file system.

So, my conclusion is: my gcc for powerpc-elf works, at least for
creating object file part.

Try the following:

${prefix}/bin/${target}-gcc -g -c hello.c
${prefix}/bin/${target}-ld -o hello ${prefix}/${target}/lib/crt0.o hello.o -lc
