Check out the <a href="http://github.com/claymation/osxp/blob/00c3203d05f5ec2b4de8fe37f54edab0e07bafd1/Makefile" rel="nofollow">Makefile</a> for the exact build sequence, but the basic steps are: - Create ELF object files from .c and .s source files - Link ELF objects into one statically linked ELF executable - Convert the ELF executable to a PE-COFF EFI application image This process is roughly based on the GNU-EFI development kit, but I modified it slightly to remove the run-time relocation stuff since I wasn't sure it would relocate the 16-bit code and data below 1 MB.

I have been trying to use the Microsoft Toolset and found I could compile the c modules but the assembler modules were not working. I was using nmake and the intel toolkit and I have started to use the GNU as assembler to do the assembly pieces, however could not get the object files from as to link using the ms toolset. Will look at what you have said and see if I can make it work. Cheers Craig Clay,

Just working through the code and was wondering what you were using to compile the actual code. Clay,

Good job.

I really would like to use yours or osxbook's solution rather than those presented by the winner of the onmac prize. Keep up the good work. It would be nice, given the time, if you could go through and set your stuff up such that others can learn from your experience as well. Comment the code with issues you have overcome and why you used certain techniques. Place TODOs in the code where you feel things need to be improved and then possibly setup a Sourceforge site with your work. You may not have won the prize but your work and possibly Blanca's work could be the ones that live on. Gabriel Please continue to update your blog.

One of my design goals was to avoid modifying any aspect of the OS X installation or requiring any modifications to the XP install CD. I haven't made it far enough to know if the latter is possible, but the former seemed easy enough at the time. Instead of blessing a new boot loader on the OS X partition, I created a tiny new HFS+ volume for my bootloader and blessed it on that. You can then hold option and use Apple's boot manager to select which operating system to boot, as shown here: http://flickr.com/photos/cwaidoh/113186068/ Though from a recent conversation with blanka it seems that this approach may not work so well. Apparently there's an issue with XP being GPT aware. I've yet to get that far. There is a FAT32 EFI system partition, but Apple doesn't seem to be using it for anything. I didn't check, but maybe it's possible to install a boot loader ont it and have the firmware present a boot menu. @xsoliman:
