GDB "No such file or directory" on NASM file that exists
« on: October 25, 2021, 11:14:58 PM »
I created this simple NASM program for Ubuntu 18.04 and compiled it to an exe as shown below.  When I run with gdb I get "No such file or directory" even though the file exists in the current directory

   ; Header Section
   [BITS 64]

   [default rel]

   global _start
   global NLTK_Gutenberg_fn
   extern Lib_Math
     
   section .data align=64
     
   section .rodata align=64
   module_name: db 'nltk',0x00

   ; _________

   section .text

   ; __________
   ; Main Entry
     
   _start:

   push rdi
   push rbp
   push rbx

   lea rdi,[module_name]
   call [rel Lib_Math wrt ..got]

   NLTK_Gutenberg_fn:
   mov rax,0
   mov rbx,0

   pop rbx
   pop rbp
   pop rdi
   ret

Compile and link:

   cd /opt/P01_SH/NLTK_Gutenberg/C_Replica

   sudo nasm -f elf64 -g -F dwarf NLTK_Gutenberg-exec.asm

   sudo ld NLTK_Gutenberg-exec.o /opt/P01_SH/NLTK_Gutenberg/C_Replica/Python_Math.o  -lpython3.8 -ldl -lrt -lpthread -L/usr/lib/python3.8/config-3.8-x86_64-linux-gnu -L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ -o NLTK_Gutenberg-exec.exe

   cd /opt/P01_SH/NLTK_Gutenberg/C_Replica
   gdb NLTK_Gutenberg-exec.exe

I usually create shared objects in NASM and I never have any problems, but with this .exe I am getting the "not found" error and I can't see why. 

Thanks.

"   gdb ./NLTK_Gutenberg-exec.exe " ?

Current directory not on your path?

Best,

Hi Frank, and thanks for the reply.  Sorry for the delay.  The problem was the path, and now it's okay.

 Hi  Elvarushing,

Dunno. Is this Nasm  issue?
