hi,

I think it would be more elegant to link the mini-os C files as a
'libminios.a' lib, and then you can replace main() with your own by
linking libminios.a from a separate Makefile somewhere else in you
tree.

I have attached a small patch to mini-os which changes the mini-os
Makefile and adds a dummy main function which you can override by
linking with your own main() first, as in:

OBJS := mymain.o

myapp: $(OBJS)
   $(LD) -N -T myapp.lds ../mini-os/x86_32.o $(OBJS) -o myapp.elf
-lminios -L../mini-os

regards,
Jacob
