[Scratchbox-users] arm assembler for scratchbox?

[)\( at sS]

i did use the -S option..
i got the output and i deleted things that i thought were irrelevant and
reprogrammed the instruction i wanted:
basically i ended up with:

        .text
        .global main
main:

        mov     pc, #0

doing that
compiles fine:
[sbox-DEHTARGET: ~] > arm-linux-as doreset.s -o doreset.o
[sbox-DEHTARGET: ~] >

but linking raises a warning:

[sbox-DEHTARGET: ~] > arm-linux-ld doreset.o -o doresetLD
/scratchbox/compilers/arm-gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2/bin/sbox-arm-linux-ld:
warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; defaulting to 00008074
[sbox-DEHTARGET: ~] > file doresetLD
doresetLD: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (ARM), statically
linked, not stripped

anyhow in the end i used what you just told me

[sbox-DEHTARGET: ~] > arm-linux-gcc -Wall doreset.s -o doreset
[sbox-DEHTARGET: ~] > file doreset
doreset: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (ARM), for GNU/Linux
2.0.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
[sbox-DEHTARGET: ~] >

and it compiled / linked fine...
when i try to run it though it produces a seg.fault. but thats beyond the
scope of this list:)
thank you once again for your help
