Re: [Mingw-users] ld emulation issue

[James T. <jam...@gm...>]

Sorry about not following the Etiquette.

I tried adding a space to the '-mi386pe' option '-m i386pe' and I get
the same results.
crt2.o: file not recognized: File format is ambiguous
crt2.o: matching formats: coff-i386 pe-i386

The command I am using:
ld -m i386pe --oformat pei-i386 --subsystem console -s crt2.o ....
(multiple *.o's) -o file.exe

This is from the third party 'maven-launch4j-plugin'. The above
command works on linux and solaris sparc. Also, the above packages the
'ld' and 'windres' commands only for linux and sparc. I have tried to
contact the maintainer to no avail. I built the binutils and simply
followed the 'maven-launch4j-plugin' method of packaging the
'ld/windres' binaries.

I built binutils with the following: configure
--enable-targets=i686-pc-mingw32 --disable-nls
binutils/ld/ld-new
binutils/binutils/windres
I then copied these to the 'maven-launch4j-plugin' configuration to
create the required pkgs.

hope the above makes a little more sense at what I am doing.
