Trying to build NASM under Windows using Microsoft Visual Stdio
(1/1)
rsherry8:
I have downloaded the source to NASM. I want to build the NASM binary from it. According to the documentation, I should type in the following command:
nmake /f Mkfiles\msvc.mak
When I run the command here is my output:
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 14.29.30146.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Mkfiles\msvc.mak(242) : fatal error U1005: syntax error : text must follow ':' in macro
Stop.
What did I do wrong?
Bob
ig:
You are right, it doesn't work [for me either].
The makefile uses syntax that the (rather ancient?) MSVC nmake doesn't support.
Frank Kotler:
Hi guys,
The forum is only loosely connected to the developers list:
https://lists.nasm.us/nasm-devel/
That might be a better place to ask this question (and to put "home made" source code).
Best,
Frank
