compile error in serial1.c on MacOS about barebones HOT 8 OPEN

Hey, the reason for that was because .bss was initialized pretty late. So, I just pushed a change where .bss (basically, the whole section needs to be zeroed) will now be initialized early on in the assembly.

See: 0064e3d

macOS is not exactly supported, as I don't have a mac. Still, hope that helps. I don't really expect this setup to work on mac, but it would be nice if it did.

Yes, that fix section problem, but after installing NASM with brew, got this new errors:

What happens if you try building with Clang? You will probably have to download elf.h and link.h yourself, as I dont think I will be adding those manually into the repo. Although, I could do without link.h and just create the prototype for the stub myself, and then do provide elf.h. In the end, you do need a compiler that builds for linux and not macOS. Clang can do that with -target.

I clean build dir then call run.sh again, and in fact it seems that I already used Clang compiler, but Apple version one...

Try installing clang using brew and use that. Although, if you just want this project to work then install Ubuntu desktop in VirtualBox or some other desktop virtualization application and it should just work out of the box.

Yes I know that, but I thought could be cool to have source code directly compatible with MacOS. Thanks for your help fwsGonzo

from barebones.

The problem is that sections are named differently on macOS, but even so I think the ABI stuff is different too and that means there will be incompatibilities.
I removed the section attribute on the TLS structure, but there is still an error in your log that says that nasm can't access .multiboot, because there is no such section. You also don't have link.h and elf.h both of which are needed. So there is not going to be any building with APPLE defined anyway. Your best bet is to use crosstool-ng package and switch to a compiler that outputs Linux binaries, probably. :)

ok, I find apple compatible version of elf.h and link.h (and dependencies) in Apple site here

https://opensource.apple.com/source/dtrace/dtrace-96/sys/

AppleClang compiler are no more complains, just see how to fix .multiboot problem ... must dig in my own kernel sample I wrote few months ago
