Hello,
I'm trying to cross-compile elf files for BeOS using fasm. I can use nasm to generate beos elfs fine, but I would prefer fasm. When I compared the two I noticed that the absolute addresses were not correct in the fasm elf. To correct this I had to add 80000000h and subtract 4800, ie :

Code:

org 80000000h + ($ and 0FFh)

This worked, but it's obviously not a very good solution. Does anyone have any suggestions on a real fix?

Maybe you should try something like brandelf (I don't know what tools are on BeOS).

Is BeOS not reading base address field from the ELF header? You try this setting:

Code:

format ELF executable at 80000000h
