I got this error, i am starting to learn masm32 and i am using dosbox to compile masm32 so i got this error and most things i see on here are Chinese :( Funny i am not chinese so i dont understand anything they say.
SO how do i fix this error?
you'll have to show us the code
masm should tell you a line number (in parenthesis)
sometimes, it's off by a line or 2, so give us that line, plus and minus 2 extras
My code looks like this
.386
.model flat,stdcall
.stack 4096
ExitProcess PROTO, DwExitCode:DWORD
DumpRegs PROTO
.code
main PROC
mov eax, 500
add eax, 600
sub eax,350
call DumpRegs
INVOKE ExitProcess,0
Main ENDP
end main
you have to include the Irvine libraries...
INCLUDE Irvine32.inc
INCLUDE Macros.inc
INCLUDELIB Kernel32.lib
INCLUDELIB User32.lib
INCLUDELIB Irvine32.lib
.CODE
main PROC
mov eax,500
add eax,600
sub eax,350
call DumpRegs
INVOKE ExitProcess,0
main ENDP
END main
results:
EAX=000002EE EBX=7FFDF000 ECX=0012FFB0 EDX=7C90E514
ESI=00000000 EDI=0000000A EBP=0012FFF0 ESP=0012FFC4
EIP=00401014 EFL=00000216 CF=0 SF=0 ZF=0 OF=0 AF=1 PF=1
you may have to add full paths for the INC and LIB files
Irvine32.inc requires the presence of SmallWin.inc and VirtualKeys.inc
Um, I am using 8086 assembler and DosBox to compile the program. Not any IDE you think this might work on the same platform?
i am not familiar with DosBox
but, if it supports a Flat memory model and 32-bit code, it should work
in your original code, you used
.MODEL Flat,StdCall
also, you used ExitProcess, which is a win32 API function and DumpRegs, which is an Irvine32 function
in order to resolve the external symbols, you need at least kernel32.lib and Irvine32.lib, if nothing else
if all else fails, don't use DosBox :P
Many thanks, which ide did you use? Pls let me know
i don't use an IDE
if i were to use one, it'd probably be RadAsm
i use Notepad and Notepad++ to write and edit
i use a batch file to assemble
Well seens to me I don't know how to do that.
How I get that RAD asm, is it free or how do I go about it too, also have you heard of gss assembler?
i guess you are using Kip Irvine's book ?
if so, he gives details of setting up free versions of VisualStudio to use with his libraries
RadAsm is a program written by one of our members, KetilO
it's an IDE - i don't think it includes an assembler, but may be used with Masm, JwAsm, etc - probably GoAsm, too
http://masm32.com/board/index.php?board=24.0 (http://masm32.com/board/index.php?board=24.0)
i use the Masm32 package - download details are in the upper right corner of the forum page
it includes an editor, batch files - everything you need to build ASM programs
How do I start, I really wonna learn this masm32 / fasm. I will be so happy to learn.
it depends on your goals
do you want to use Kip Irvine's libraries ?
the reason i ask is that we get students in here that are required to use that library
they have no choice in the matter :(
otherwise, i suggest you start with the Masm32 package (link in upper right corned this page)
there are many examples, help files, and tutorials in the package
i have gotten permission from Kip Irvine to make a few modifications to his library,
to make it easier to use with the Masm32 package
i still have a little work to do on it before i post it, though
