Title: Which editor are you using?
Post by: Andrej on June 27, 2009, 06:54:59 PM

I'm starting on Paul Carter's PC ASM book, so I'm looking for a simple editor with code highlight and just a shortcut for build & run. I ask for nothing more, except  the ability to configure the editor so it calls the nasm compiler to build stuff. (well.. maybe I'll need line numbering too :p)

I've tried RadASM, looks really nice. But why the hell can't I scroll up and down with my mouse wheel? What's going on? If there's a quick fix for this, please let me know.

In the meantime, what editor are the rest of you using?

Hey, I'm also reading Paul Carter's PC ASM Book. He's publishing it on a self publishing site. Here's the link:

It makes it much easier to read. Plus it's a dirt cheap book compared to other programming books. BTW, I'm also using gvim and it works great

Have you tried emacs? It has an assembler editing mode but no highlighting nor any shortcut for running the NASM assembler. You can download a version 23 prerelease from here:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest (http://ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest) . You may be able to run a shell script inside emacs to invoke NASM but I don't know how to do that.
