Long way to json libs support with masm32

[Archer-Dante]

Greetings

While tried to add some json support stuff i've discovered on forums, i've also met bunch of build errors.

Libs like jansson and cjson are both require UCRT.lib
So i did include it this like this:

Code Select Expand

includelib "C:\PF\Windows Kits\10\Lib\(version)\ucrt\x86\ucrt.lib"But the next it needs another lib

Code Select Expand

LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "vcruntime.lib"I add it as well like this (full path now):

Code Select Expand

includelib "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.39.33519\lib\x86\vcruntime.lib"And while trying to assemble or build it gives an error:

Code Select Expand

main.asm(403) fatal error A1016: Internal Assembler ErrorAnd always moves cursor to the last endp of asm file.


And here I don't know what to do to make it work or why this error happens since no info.

Have you tried settimg the Path to the lib folder?

[Archer-Dante]

uh, what does is mean? Beside the path to lib with includelib like above, i just don't know other methods, maybe i miss something

[fearless]

Can you post some code so we can see what the issue is, thanks.

feels dumb, but can't find how to attach here anything besides images...

Beside the path to lib with includelib like above

Have a look at the linker options in \Masm32\examples\exampl04\altbuild\makeit.bat

Some libraries expect "dependent" libs to be in the same folder.

In the lower right corner, there is a More... button. Choose "Modify". This opens a different dialog with "Click or drag files here to attach them". Allowed file types are *.zip and *.png (careful with the latter, they cost bandwidth, and moderators are absolutely not happy if you post any images above 10kB there).

Re JSON, there is rudimentary support in MasmBasic: Json$(). If you have a concrete case, I'd be grateful to see that, as I never really had a chance to test that on a real world example.

Made a bare minimum which still not working:

Code Select Expand

.486
.xmm
.Model Flat, StdCall
OPTION CASEMAP :NONE

include masm32rt.inc
include C:\masm32\masmbasic\masmbasic.inc
includelib "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.22621.0\ucrt\x86\ucrt.lib"
includelib "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.39.33519\lib\x86\vcruntime.lib"
include cjson_x86.inc
includelib cjson_x86.lib
;include jansson_x86.inc
;includelib jansson_x86.lib

.data

.data?

.code

Startup proc
ret
Startup endp

End

that's interesting
but i'm working with radasm2
will try to move some dlls to sources as well

maybe i'll give it a try later, but for now i'm looking for shortest way, even if it won't be the fastest

Looks like it's has finally compiled.

After copying vcruntime.lib to the source folder, the next issue was to move cjson_x86.lib from masm32\libs to the source folder. Finally, it's compiled successfully.

I expect the linker and compiler will locate it under masm32\libs, as specified in the installation instructions.

.486
.xmm
.Model Flat, StdCall
OPTION CASEMAP :NONE

include masm32rt.inc
include C:\masm32\masmbasic\masmbasic.inc

MasmBasic.inc contains masm32rt.inc, and masm32rt.inc does the model etc stuff for you. Since some members (me included) have their Masm32 stuff not on C: but on a different drive,  it's always a good idea to use \Masm32\..., thus it works on D:\Masm32.., ... Z:\Masm32

This is not the case of VC libs that sit in C:, of course - they need the drive letter.

but i'm working with radasm2

I have no experience with RadAsm (since I have my own IDE). Are there any conflicts with MasmBasic?

I'm not sure i'll keep it in this project, so maybe i'll keep lines as well for a while.
But big thanks for mentioning it, good to know!

I've not actually tried it properly yet.
Just compiled a few examples from the manual to ensure it works in some way.

A few of them are failed to compile, while other ones compiles and launches flawlessly; I'm just trying to figure out some things yet.

Meta-note here: If you reply to a post here, you sometimes don't get the "Click or drag files here to attach them" option until you preview the post, after which it appears. Seems to be a quirk of the SMF (Simple Machines) software that runs this site.

Sorry, .. Not so, ... that ONLY occurs when you use the "Quick Reply" Window below the last post.

If you click the Blue 'highlighted' "Reply" button, directly below the last post, you will get ALL of the 'PostImage' and 'Drag and Drop' options, without requiring to 'Preview'.

A few of them are failed to compile

Which ones, for example?

Can't tell for now, I just deleted those projects already.
If i'll meet another one i'll let you know
