Hello,
I think the original issue with this thread was not that you were trying and asking for assistance but rather requesting for someone to walk you through steps on how to use a toolchain and provide you source code.
The problem with the former is that all of the information can be found online - there are a lot of tutorials, resources, and even the manuals to help you with setting up a toolchain.
The problem with the latter is that requesting source code for a complete set up shows no effort on your part.
Neither of these are OS development related topics. It is fine if you are a beginner to a toolchain, but there are resources available. If you are a beginner in OS development and asking these types of questions, that is an issue as you should know your toolchain prior to attempting to develop an OS with it. This is why I personally always recommend new OS developers to use the toolchain they fell most comfortable with.

Re: Compiling with GCC on Windows7
Then ask the right question, two pages later we still have no clue what's happening beyond "it does not work", which is bad.
A: Gimme the code.
B: Meh
A: It does not work
B: It does
A: It does not
B: It does, proof.
A: It really does not work
B: !"#$ noobs wasting time (silence).
Speaking of which, you should read that article thoroughly, then probably create a new thread based on all the spam you managed to collect so far. Maybe you can get a second chance for a first impression. Just remember: the answer you get depends on how you ask and the apparent effort shown. If you want to learn something, we need to have an indication of your current status to base any new information on.

Re: Compiling with GCC on Windows7
Yep. I completely agree with you, the intention was good, but the implementation was not.QFT. Somehow that got lost between the frustration of correcting someone with poor advice and seeing it followed up with even worse advice. I hope you can keep up the good intentions, and help at the same time
To the OP: If you have been trying to do it for three years (which is...amazing), how can it still not work, when the tutorial given has worked for many many many people? What are you doing so incorrectly that you can't correct it in three years? I say again, are you sure you're ready for this? Have you done the appropriate research? Are you sure that once you get this to work, you will be able to use it it effectively create an operating system? I'm sorry to tell you this, but so far what you have demonstrated does not show this.
