 What tools did YOU use to compile your kernel!?!? several people here have a kernel going on... Me and smeezykitty have tried to compile one using Turbo C with little success so I ask the veterans here (ahmm Love4Boobies) to let us know what tools have you used to compile your kernel...
all we want is a C compiler that can compile a bin file with our own custome library, that does not need DOS, or Windows or Linux... we just want to load a bin file (a kernel) onto memory, run it and have it load other bin files (programs) and run them as well...

Re: What tools did YOU use to compile your kernel!?!? I guess it depends on what OS you are running... Of course in Linux, gcc is used to compile anything and everything.
In Windows however, I am not sure what is best for compiling a kernel. Maybe MinGW or Cygwin would work (gcc ports to Windows).
Since I am not much of a C/C++ programmer, I have limited knowledge of C compilers.

Re: What tools did YOU use to compile your kernel!?!? I use Windows 7 and Cygwin. I have a port of GCC & Binutils for each target machine. For devving I use Dev C++, a rubbish IDE, but better suits my needs compared to Microsoft C++ IDE.

Re: What tools did YOU use to compile your kernel!?!? Debug is easy to use. You can even use it to view the hex output from any file you create. I prefer it over partcopy.
