[Dev-C++] making a binary image using gcc or g++

[Ben M. <ili...@at...>]

Hello everybody. I am trying to use MinGW to make a flat binary image, 
but am unsure how to do it.  I tried to compile using the following 
commands:

gcc -c program.c
ld program.o -o program.bin --oformat=binary --Ttext=0x0

this told me that I could not perform PE operations on non-PE file 
program.bin. I also tried this:

gcc -c program.c
ld -o test.bin -Ttext 0x0 -e _main test.o

This gave me the error:
Undefined reference to _alloca
Undefined reference to __main

How do i specify the command line options to make the binary image? 
Also, if i cant use gcc, how can i use g++ to make the binary image?

I am trying to write a small OS kernel, and i need binary output for that.

So, why don't you start your request by telling exactly what you need a
your binary file for?

Are you trying to write a BIOS for your computer?
