Problem with using ld in Cygwin

Hi all!

I have the next problem. I'm using Cygwin for build binary file written on assembler. But when I try to build binary file, ld write "PE operations on none PE file"

Here is my command line:

gcc -c myfile.S
ld -o myfile.bin -Ttext 0x0 -s --oformat binary myfile.o

Thank you!

May not answer your question.
But why not try " ld -o myfile.bin -Ttext 0x0 -s --oformat elf32-i386 myfile.o "
Also plese cat your -Ttext file.

Hi -

It's a limitation of "ld" on Windows (which uses the "PE" object format) - you can't create a .bin image directly. It would work just like you expect on Linux (which uses the "ELF" object format). It'll also work if you use "objcopy". Here's a link that explains further:

'Hope that helps .. PSM

Thanks to all! :-)

I'm already resolve this problem with objcopy.

Best regards, Alexey.

"-Ttext" is not file. It is option that point to address of text segment.
