[ros-dev] build system problem

[Hartmut Birr]

Hi,

it exist a variable TARGET_CPPAPP. If this variable is set to yes, the
object files for the real target are linked directly. If the variable is not
set, the object files are prelinked to a single object file with the option
'--strip-debug'. User mode images are always linked with the option
'--strip-debug'. TARGET_CPPAPP has no effect. Kernel mode images are not
linked with '--strip-debug'. They contains a large debug section if either
TARGET_CPPAPP is set to yes or if they are linked to a library which
contains debug symbols. Currently, Ntoskrnl contains a large debug section.
I'm able to boot ros from a harddisk but I'm not able to install ros from a
cd. The pc reboots after loading the boot files from the cd. In bochs I see
a short debug message:

Page fault at high IRQL was 31
KeBugCheckWithTf at ke/catch.c:164  

Something is different between freeldr and setupldr. This occurs since
ntoskrnl uses helper.mk. If I build ntoskrnl with the option
'--strip-debug', there exist no problem.
