[localhost]

I just installed masm32 on windows, all went weel, but any .asm that includes a file from \masm32 won't work.

I think something isn't configured correctly but I have no idea what it might be.

the folder name does not end with an "s"

Every where I look it uses that same path to include files, but it won't work for  me. I installed masm on drive D, so if I try to include D:\masm32\etc, it works, but then all .inc files include other files with \masm32 and I get the same error for each include.

[dedndave]

the masm32 folder should be installed in the root of whichever drive you are assembling from
and - the files you are building should be on the same drive

is that the case ?

it's ok to use a folder like this...
C:\masmprojects

but, the masm32 folder must then be
C:\masm32

I am getting the same error.

I will look into it.

Ah... that might be it.

Yes, that's the problem. I installed masm on drive D, but was trying to compile from drive C. Thank you!

[Magnum]

Did you do it with Console Build All ?

Guys, MASM32 is designed to only work on the partition it is installed on so that it does not interfere with other installations like C compilers, other assembler etc ....

[dedndave]

in other words, the project you are assembling must be on the same drive as the masm32 folder
and - it makes things easier if you installed the masm32 package into the root of that drive

let me see....
hotkey   :P

It will only install in the masm32 folder on the partition of your choice, if you then move it, it won't work as the paths will be incorrect.

Hi localhost,

Moving the source files to the partition hosting the Masm32 installation is the best solution. If you wish to use different partitions :

Code Select Expand

set CurrDrive=%~d0

set CurrPath=%~p0

set FullPath=%CurrDrive%%CurrPath%

D:

cd \

\masm32\bin\ml /Fo%FullPath%WriteConsole.obj /c /coff %FullPath%WriteConsole.asm
\masm32\bin\polink /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE %FullPath%WriteConsole.obj /OUT:%FullPath%WriteConsole.exe

%CurrDrive%

Assumptions :

Source code -> C:\example ( or any other directory in C: )
Masm32 -> D:\masm32
