Using NASM / Re: Trying to build NASM under Windows using Microsoft Visual Stdio

« Last post by Frank Kotler on August 12, 2022, 04:18:15 AM »

Hi guys,

The forum is only loosely connected to the developers list:

https://lists.nasm.us/nasm-devel/

That might be a better place to ask this question (and to put "home made" source code).

Best,
Frank

You are right, it doesn't work [for me either].
The makefile uses syntax that the (rather ancient?) MSVC nmake doesn't support.

I would like to download the project file included in the post but when I click on it, I get
404 - Attachment Not Found

Did the project get deleted? If so, could somebody put it back?

Thanks,
Bob

Using NASM / Trying to build NASM under Windows using Microsoft Visual Stdio

« Last post by rsherry8 on August 11, 2022, 01:58:34 AM »

I have downloaded the source to NASM. I want to build the NASM binary from it. According to the documentation, I should type in the following command:
       nmake /f Mkfiles\msvc.mak

When I run the command here is my output:

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 14.29.30146.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

Mkfiles\msvc.mak(242) : fatal error U1005: syntax error : text must follow ':' in macro
Stop.

What did I do wrong?

Ahhh... once would have been enough. Sorry.

Dunno if we're going to hear from Jaafar again or not. Whatever...

Thanks John,

So maybe we need to tell beginners to always wait for a keystroke before exiting?

I dunno.

Hi All,

I think he may have fixed his problem with adding things to his windows environment.  Sounds like the errors you would get for not doing so.   Mind you that example is going to fly if you just click on the .exe created, you would be lucky to even see the cmd window displayed.
And I just tried it, it assembles and compiles just fine.

Cool! Just like your picture. I had no idea I could do that in Linux. We live and learn.

To get back to Jaafar's question... How are you doing? Got anything to link yet?  Either version? Preferably both?

Best,
Frank
