Hello! I'm diving back into the world of OS dev. And I must say, it's going better than last time now that I've learned a bit more about it. But, I have a problem.

Everything compiles fine. But when It gets to the linker, it gives me this:

PE operations on Non-PE file

Here's my linker script (link.ld):

Code:

OUTPUT_FORMAT("binary")
ENTRY(start)
phys = 0x00100000;
SECTIONS
{
  .text phys : AT(phys) {
    code = .;
    *(.text)
    . = ALIGN(4096);
  }
  .data : AT(phys + (data - code))
  {
    data = .;
    *(.data)
    . = ALIGN(4096);
  }
  .bss : AT(phys + (bss - code))
  {
    bss = .;
    *(.bss)
    . = ALIGN(4096);
  }
  end = .;
}

Any ideas?

I have encountered the same problem with MinGW and here is the solution.

Try the delete first string with OUTPUT_FORMAT in link.ld
ld will produce a PE output file.
Then extract a final binary with "objcopy $(OUTFILE) -O binary"
