Link error

[yuppox]

I'm trying to compile on Linux using the xPack gcc toolchain. However, I get a bunch of errors at the end of linking. I tried adding -fPIC to the cc flags and recompiling but that doesn't help.

hi @yuppox ,

use gcc 4 instead of higher version, I met the same issue with gcc 8.

I got a binary available here: https://github.com/chillancezen/Zelda.RISCV.Emulator/releases, you can simply download and run it.

Great! Thanks.
