nasm on a mac?

[nobody]

is it possible to get nasm onto a mac? (macbook intel core duo) If so how?

there only seem to be downloads for windows or linux and yet my impression from the internet (http://untimedcode.com/2007/5/20/learn-nasm-assembly-on-mac-os-x) is that nasm will work on a mac.

I tried the linux group of files from sourceforge but my computer balked at the rpm command I tried to use to unpack them.

Its entirely possible I simply don't know how to deal with these files as I'm new to mac's as well as to assembly.

many thanks for any  help anyone can give me.

In the meantime maybe I'll look for another assembler...

easy.

try downloading nasm-0.98.tar.gz from http://fresh.t-systems-sfr.com/linux/src/nasm-0.98.39.tar.gz/

this file is not available from sourceforge but it will extract and install fine on a mac book.

good luck

I'd have suggested getting it from:

http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/10.4.9.x86/

as "nasm-11". Great link on the "learn assembly on a mac". Bookmarked!

I also meant to mention... I understand Nasm is included in the "Xcode" package from Apple.
