Hi
I’m building a image filesystem to transfer to a floppy and boot from. the
problem is that my program is using the math library. But when i try to
include it in the buildfile , the image just builds fine, but when i try
to boot from it just gets stuck after displaying the dots of loading
it. The same build file without libm.so.1 just boots fine but on booting
the kernel complains of “Missing library libm.so.1”. Please help
Here is my build file
Build file begins
[virtual=x86,bios] .bootstrap = {
startup-bios
PATH=/proc/boot procnto
}
[+script] .script = {
devc-con -n9 &
reopen /dev/con1
xpr is my program
/proc/bin/xpr
}
[perms=+r,+x]
libc.so.1
#keeping libm.so.1 doesn’t work neither here
#libm.so.1
[type=link] /usr/lib/ldqnx.so.1=/proc/boot/libc.so.1
[type=link] /usr/lib/libc.so.1=/proc/boot/libc.so.1
[type=link] /lib/libm.so.1=/proc/boot/libm.so.1
[data=copy]
[perms=+r,+x]
devc-con
#nor here
#/usr/lib/libm.so.1=/lib/libm.so.1
this is to get my program
…/xpr
Build file ends
i have tried putting libm.so.1 everywhere and nowhere it works…
ps. another simple buildfile with a hello world program and WITHOUT
libm.so.1 just boots and runs fine off the same floppy. however when i put
libm.so.1 along with it… the boot process just gets stuck where i
mentioned. apparantly the problem is with libm.so being there
Please help… i need this working desperately…

It’s likely your image is too big, it must be smaller then ~610k.
Solution would be to have a file system on the floppy and
from the image mount it and load your program from there.

If you change the following line to include +compress, it will
allow you to put more into the boot image. Look at the sample
build files in /boot/build to see it in other images.
[virtual=x86,bios +compress] .bootstrap = {
