Hello,
I am trying to compile and run xv6 on OpenBSD 5.8, a simple Unix Version
6 clone for educational
usage. I changed the Makefiles, so that it compiles fine on OpenBSD
(mail me if you need a copy).
Sadly enough, I still can't boot the xv6 image in qemu.
I noticed that the 'initcode' target produces a binary that is way too
big, compared to the initcode
binary on other hosts (eg linux). The command that generates such a big
binary is
$(OBJCOPY) -S -O binary initcode.out initcode
I am not sure, why do I get binary 'initcode' with 128MB?
I am not sure if this is the bug why xv6 doesn't boot, but I also do not
understand why I am getting
such a big binary from that command? Is this a bug in objcopy?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
- dl
