Generating elf from assembly code

Hello guys!

Is there any manual or tutorial about generating elf file (.elf) from assembly code (.s) in Eclipse. I can't find any documentation about this way of programming.

    If you feed a .s file into gcc it will just assemble it.

    IIRC if you use .S then it is also processed by the C pre-processor (which is often useful).

    Depending on what you are actually doing, writing the code in C might generate good enough object code (and is easier).

    OTOH I wouldn't even try to use an IDE's build scheme for anuthing complex.

    Write your own makefile and linker script.
