Calling external library

[josehf34]

Hi guys.

I need to work with the library "id3lib" to load some .mp3 files using NASM, I already installed the id3lib on my ubuntu 14.04 but I don't have idea how should I use this library from NASM, i think maybe "EXTERN" instruction could be involve on this but i need some help

Does someone knows how can I do this?

This is just the conversion of a part of demo_simple.cpp  which comes along with id3lib.
The below program displays just the title of the mp3 (not filename) and exits

Code: [Select]

;;Installing ID3Lib
;;sudo apt-get install id3 libid3-dev libid3-doc

;;Assembling and linking
;;nasm -felf32 id3demo.asm
;;gcc -o id3demo id3demo.o -lid3


%define ID3FID_TITLE 47  ;; check globals.h for other field IDs
%define ID3FN_TEXT 2

FIELDLEN equ  1024


;;External library function calls
extern ID3Tag_New
extern ID3Tag_Link
extern ID3Tag_FindFrameWithID
extern ID3Frame_GetField
extern ID3Field_GetASCII
extern printf


section .data

pID3Tag dd 0
pID3Frame dd 0
pID3Field dd 0
filename db "/home/mathi/test.mp3",0  ;;input file name

section .bss
title resb 1024   ;;reserve 1024 bytes

call ID3Tag_New
