Having a look to asmc

[Vortex]

Hi nidud,

I downloaded the latest asmc release. I get the following error messages using your batch file above :

I downloaded and tested the batch file and it seems to work just fine. From the output the linkw.lnk file appear to be missing.

Hi nidud,

I have the file \asmc-master\bin\linkw.lnk but still I get the error messages.

The batch file :

Code: [Select]

SET ASMCDIR=\asmc-master

\asmc-master\bin\asmc64 -I\asmc-master\include test.asm
\asmc-master\bin\linkw sys con_64 file test

[nidud]

I tried using CMD instead of DZ and ended up with the same result. It appears the linkw.lnk file needs to be in the %PATH% for LINKW to find it. The following batch worked:

Code: [Select]

SET PATH=D:\asmc-master\bin
SET ASMCDIR=\asmc-master

asmc64 -I\asmc-master\include test.asm
linkw sys con_64 file test


[nidud]

I upgraded LINKW to v2.01 by adding a search for linkw.lnk in the directory where LINKW is located if SearchPath() failes.

Hi nidud,

Thanks for the update. Here is my report. I received the similar error messages both with the batch file and the makefile executed by DosZip :

Well, the import + libc libraries appear to exist (no missing printf) but directxmath.lib and uuid.lib is missing. Try building the missing libraries and remove the includelib stuff from the source. The include files take care of all that.

To build the missing libraries using DZ, go to ./source/directx and hit enter on the makefile. Same with uuid. This should probably be added to the install.bat file thought.

Hello nidud,

Thanks, building the missing libraries solved the problem.

This should probably be added to the install.bat file thought.

Exactly.

Here is my report :

Code: [Select]

C:\asmc-master\test>notepad
'notepad' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
There is only one problem, the environment variable %PATH% should preserve the original value followed by the path to asmc.

Code: [Select]

PATH = %PATH%;\asmc-master\bin
As you can see in my report, I cannot execute notepad or other tools since %PATH% points only the asmc installation.

nidud, thanks for the update. Keep up the nice work

Some more updates.

I added the two directories to install.bat.

The latest version of LINKW do not need the PATH statement in the batch file so only the root directory (ASMCDIR) needs to be set (or remove it by edit the linkw.lnk file).

However, the shell (DZ) holds the environment for the current source so it's recommended to use this instead of CMD. Note also that the environment is local (mistake I did when testing) to the source tree. If you copy one instance of DZ.EXE to \masm32\bin and execute it, use Ctrl-K, Ctrl-X, and Ctrl-O to emulate CMD, and issue the following commands:

D:\masm32\bin>PATH
PATH=D:\masm32\bin;C:\Windows;...

D:\masm32\bin>echo %INCLUDE%
D:\masm32\include

D:\masm32\bin>echo %ASMCDIR%
D:\masm32

So it adapts to the directory where it is located. The default setting is as follows (dz.ini):

[Environ]
0=INCLUDE=%ASMCDIR%\include

[Path]
0=%DZ%
1=%PATH%

Hi nidud,

Very nice work Thanks.
