compailing tutorials in linux

[pswin]

hi
how can i compaile tutorials in linux and execute them, i haven't floppy disk, under windows i am using VFDWin but in linux i cant find a program like that.

First tutorials are made for windows compiler
So you must change some code (few) to do it
Second you need gcc, makefile, ld, ld script and asm competences

Ready, go

// Second you need gcc, makefile, ld, ld script and asm competences
The native Linux gcc/binutils can't produce PE executables, you'll need MinGW and you'll have to rewrite the whole inline assembly code.
If you want to get started with gcc/mingw inline assembly then this page is a pretty good place to begin

You dont neccesserally need to use PE executables. That was only because it was the default that MSVC uses.

If you are doing your development on Linux then it would be much easier to modifiy the kernel loader in stage2.asm to be able to load Elf binaries which GCC can nativly do.

It was implicit

For my part it was in binary format under cygwin.
Binary format is less complicated to adapt
