Newbie needing help

[nobody]

Until now I always programmed in 16-bit mode with turbo assembler and now I am trying to write 32 bit code.
I have a terrible problem with libraries: I downloaded from many sites windows.inc, kernel32.dll, user32.dll, but every time I try to compile a source file, the included libraries cause many errors.
Could you tell me what is wrong?? (damn, the old interrupts were so reliable!!)

Int 80h is *still* reliable! :)

I understand your frustration with libraries - the only thing I ever got "-f win32" output to link with was the libraries with the "masm32" package.

Using "-f obj", and using an "import" statement with every API, I could link using Alink without a library. Well... without anything with a ".lib" extension - the ".dll"s are the "real" libraries, of course, and they come with the system...

When I was attempting Windows programming (very little), the NaGoA package was the newest and most active. Now there's a "nasm32" project:

http://www.asmcomunity.net/projects/nasm32

This has apparently just switched from using "-f obj" to "-f win32" output format, and uses Pelle Orinius' "polink" instead of Alink. Should have everything you need. The only part of it I've used is the libc macros (earlier version), and with a little tweaking, got that working on Linux. Looks like a nice package...

If you continue to have trouble, try posting the exact error message(s) you're getting, and maybe we can help you figure it out.

Best,
Frank

Int 80h is cool :-)
Thank you very much for the suggestions and for the link: I begin to read nasm32 project straight away
