is there is a linker that can output Binary form Win32 PE COFF

Why should be necessary such a tool?

you can use the GNU ld linker to output binary from COFF object modules - however, if you use MS coff format there will be some relocation problems (unless you can find a GNU ld with ms-coff rather than dj/gnu-coff support).

If you want to convert a PE executable to binary form, you'll have to write some code of your own. In case you don't need resources, imports, exports (etc) it's pretty easy, allocate a memory buffer the size PEheader.SizeOfImage, then read all sections physical data into that buffer, offset by their memory RVA.

debian:~#sr debpackages mingw

does mingw use ms-coff or "regular" coff?

thnx but can u send me a sample code to convert pe to bin

ok if u don't have code then do any 1 knows a program that do so (extract bin code from pe ignoring the resources)

If I understand you correctly, you need to extract the ".code" section on PE. You can use OllyDbg or any hex editor or a pe editor/viewer such as LordPE.

What I don't understand is why you need it. You can't do nothing with it alone.

i need a program that does what he said

All you need to do this is inside imports.asm that you could find here:
http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=1068

But then, what do you expect to do with this?

i wanna to play with pe generated by most windows compilers as os toy
coz i played with elf and it's perfect while i do know nothing about pe exe
so i just wanna create pe exe with no imports from any dlls and boot it using grub so i think grub don't run pe exe so i wanna convert it to binary without any dlls imports.
any other comments ,or solutions ????

PE with imported functions will not work at all without import section.

You will need at least to grab the code from inside dlls for all used functions, producing a plain binary file. A sort of statically link your program.

But you should use dlls from wine project, because doing this on windows' dlls is considered a crime

And don't forget to relocate the data and to replace resources for a similar method. Keep a look at for near all PEs you will risk to redo whole wine project.

also check reactos [to me :BAD_feeling]

i've found a program called pe2bin at http://ybx.narod.ru
which create grub mutliboot form pe but how can i tell HLL compiler to only use on section for all text,data,bss coz this program remove all section except the first 1 which is the code(text).?

using GCC proably editing linker scripts could help, you should ask on some GCC-related forum

can any body tell me how to adjust any HLL to generate pe with only 1 section

Again, i don't know what you want, but, Please, ask your question here.

that forum allows anonymous question.

i said before i wanna generate binary from pe which can be loaded by a boot loader or generate multiboot to run with grub all of this using a HLL like C or Pascal i know elf is good and always use them but i wanna try os developement on win32 (just a toy)

sorry me: simple noob.

if you think if i don't bug you,
can you look these kind of things?

hey i checked ur sites although the last 2 i knew before
but they didn't help here is what i decided now

i wanna write just helloworld kernel which can be loaded by any boot loader or multiboot kernel which can be loaded by grub

i wanna write the kernel by any compiler which works on windows and produce pe exe. (Pascal : FreePascal , C : Borland C)

so how can i use each one of them rto create that shit helloworld , i know it an adventure , please don't point for linux coz i already use it and love it more than any other OS but i need something new like what i said before .


bye
