Masm 64 bit

[Gunther]

Which SDK must I download to get the 64 bit masm and the linker? Thank you.

Gunther,

Its been a while since I have downloaded a Microsoft SDK but the last one had ML64.EXE and the 64 bit linker. Vaguely I remember there were different directories for the x86 and 64 bit tools.

I think the earliest SDK with ml64 was the server 2003 r2 release, http://www.microsoft.com/en-au/download/details.aspx?id=6510
The later SDKs all have ml64 but impose a minimum version, 5.2 I think.

[Gunther]

Thank you, Steve and sinsi. I've downloaded the SDK and found ml64.exe and link.exe. Both files are very hidden.

I remember that ml64's HLL statement support is weak.

Hi Erol,

I remember that ml64's HLL statement support is weak.

that's true, but I need mainly the linker.

you can also use the 32 bit version of link.exe to link 64 bit modules.

Hi qWord,

you can also use the 32 bit version of link.exe to link 64 bit modules.

good hint. Thank you.  :t

Hi Gunther,

Did you try JWlink?

Hi Erol,

Hi Gunther,

Did you try JWlink?

http://japheth.de/JWlink.html

could be a good alternative. Thank you for the link. I'm searching for an assembler and linker which is useable under Windows and Linux (64 bit). Gas and ld is one opportunity, jWasm and jWlink another. I've to find out how to install it on my Linux system.

Hi Gunther,

The combination of JWasm and JWlink is a very good choice. You could also visit Bogdan's site to try the Solar Assembler :

http://oby.ro/sol_asm/sol_asm_download_bin.htm

SOLAR Assembler is a modern multipass macro assembler that can compile 16/32/64 bits code and runs on Windows, Linux, MacOSX and Solar_OS

Solar Assembler can create portable executables without the usage of a linker.

There is no need to "install" them. Just copy the files into your home directory and it should work.
Try to execute them in the Terminal. If it's not working you maybe have to set it executable via chmod +x filename.
Edith said alternatively you can copy the files into /bin directory (you need root permissions to do that).

I know.

That would be another good choice. Both tools (jWasm & SolAsm) are very good maintained and up to date, I think. I'll check out Bogdan's site, too. And the portable exe without a linker is a definitive advantage.

Thank you. Good to know; I'll try your methods. That could be a better way then using as and ld, which are available under both operating systems. But that's another story: http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=1449.0.

How is it possible to create a portable executable that uses different APIs
in LINUX-WIN-MAC...?
This assertion seems to contradict the first Assembly Language dogma: the
code [even source] written in Assembly is not portable among different systems.
This is why they invented C, mainly, to bypass that problem.
If this problem has been solved by Solar-ASM it is quite a good news.
