[SOLVED]linker that can be used along with nasm in windows

[yaami]

Hi all,

I'm just starting with assembly language and nasm. What linker can be used to link programs assembled using nasm?

how can we produce a exe file and run it check the output of a program.

which books do you suggest for a beginner like me to learn assembly (in windows).

Thanks.

I've used Jeremy Gordon's GoDev tools with much success:

If you have the Microsoft C compiler, you can use link.exe. If you don’t, you can download the Windows 7 SDK, which provides the C compiler and linker.

Code: [Select]

link HelloWorld.obj /OUT:HelloWorld.exe /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /ENTRY:start
If you download MinGW, it provides ld.exe which can also be used to do the linking.

Code: [Select]

ld -o HelloWorld.exe HelloWorld.obj -entry=start --subsystem=console
Most of the assembly books I know of are for Linux, not Windows. Do you have access to a Linux machine or VM?

Yes I do have linux installed on my laptop and I've used nasm with ld (tried some examples)... I wanted to know what linkers were available for windows/dos....

Thanks.
