Assembling and Linking an Assembly Program

[Hazique35]

Hello! 

Im using windows xp and I can use: nasm -f elf test.asm -o hello.o

I cant seem to link it however... Nothing comes up when I type the first bit in so Imm either doing it correct or completely wrong.
Anyway, I just need to get this running.

Thanks

the elf format is for Linux.  For windows:
   nasm -f win32 test.asm
This will create a file called test.obj which you would then pass to whichever linker you are using.

valid output formats for -f are (`*' denotes default):
