Smooth installation
I tested \Masm64\Examples\Simple\dialog_controls\edit_control\edit.asm with qEditor.exe, and it works fine once I saw that \Masm64\bin\ml64.exe was missing.
Perhaps the makeit.bat could be refined a little bit, like this:
@echo off
set appname=edit
if exist %appname%.obj del %appname%.obj
if exist %appname%.exe del %appname%.exe
if not exist \Masm64\bin\ml64.exe (
echo You need to download ml64.exe from https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/?q=build+tools
echo.
pause
) else (
if exist rsrc.rc \masm64\bin64\porc64.exe rsrc.rc
\masm64\bin64\ml64.exe /c /nologo %appname%.asm
\masm64\bin64\Polink.exe /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /ENTRY:entry_point /nologo /LARGEADDRESSAWARE %appname%.obj rsrc.res
dir %appname%.*
echo.
if exist %appname%.exe (
%appname%.exe
) else (
echo You had errors, sorry
pause
)
)From my favourite editor, I am used to hit F6 and see the program running, without having saved the file. Since I often change small things for testing, it would bother me having to save every time I added a space somewhere.
This is minor feedback, Hutch. Compliments, I guess many people were waiting for the 64-bit equivalent to the Masm32 SDK, and you did it
