Title: Installation problem
Post by: nobody on August 19, 2007, 06:47:43 PM
Hi guys !

I want to use Nasm compiler, but I can't install it. I've downloaded the Win32 binaries and i've found those files in the zip :

- COPYING
- nasmw, which return an error
- ndisasmw, which is a help file

The file ndisasmw list "ndisasm" commands, not recognized by my MS-DOS.

So, how can I install nasm with that ? And why nasmw file doesn't work ? I run on Windows XP.

Thanks in advance !

PS : I'm french so if I've spoken a bad english I'm so sorry :(

??? Just extract the ZIP ;-)

The famous GNU LGPL ;-)

??? And you don't even bother to post this "error" ? ;-)

NO. It's the disassembler ;-)

YES. ;-)

:-( ... but it should work nevertheless - you are doing something wrong ;-)

You trying to click on it? Won't work. Both nasmw.exe and ndisasm.exe are command line tools. If you don't know how to get to a command prompt, or what to do with it, consult the documentation for your OS.

Best,
Frank

Thanks for your help !

I've just readen the nasm doc, and I've edit my PATH with the nasm directory... It doesn't work anyway...

And I know how to use the command line :D

The error returned by nasmw is : "nasm : error. No input file specified. Type nasm -h for help".
