class="lang-none prettyprint-override">kuzai_longmane@penguin:/mnt/chromeos/removable/32GB/Operating systems (source code)/my_cool_os/my_cool_os$ make
gcc -m32 -nostdlib -nodefaultlibs -lgcc start.o libc/string/memcmp.o libc/string/memset.o libc/string/strcat.o libc/string/strchr.o libc/string/strcmp.o libc/string/strcpy.o libc/string/strlen.o libc/string/strncmp.o libc/string/strstr.o libc/string/strutil.o libc/string/ctos.o kernel/tty.o kernel/io.o kernel.o -T linker.ld -o myos

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [Makefile:28: myos] Error 1

any sugestions or things i overlooked?

Solution

You're trying to generate and link 32-bit code (the -m32 option), but the linker can't find a 32-bit version of libgcc. The message says its is finding a 64-bit version, so the problem is probably just that you don't have 32-bit libs installed. I think on debian, you need to install the ia32-libs package for that.
