masm32 newbie
Author
Can someone show me how to get a simple dos program to assemble and link with masm32? I'm trying to learn ASM and the assembler directives are driving me nuts! (I'm use to just coding then just pushing the big compile button and BAM! its there hehehe IDEs good!). I'm trying just a very simple .com executable that simply exits to dos, like this:
.186
.model tiny
.code
org 100h
INT 20h ; Exit to dos.
END
I end up getting a linker error that there are multiple .data segments, or sometimes theres some wincrt symbol constant undefined when I'm not even writing a win app. I have this program working in a different assembler but I want to learn to use masm32. Thanks

I don''t use masm or visual studio, but I would suggest looking at the project settings. My guess would be entry/exit code being added into it during the link. If you can''t figure out what is going wrong then try replacing the assembler or linker temporarily with a program that just displays the parameters passed to it. Then go through the parms one by one and check if they are appropriate. Try dropping various parms when invoking the assembler and compiler from the command line until you find which parms are the problem. Then play with the project settings until you find which option is causing those parms to be added. IDEs are wonderful, but sometimes it is a pain to figure out exactly what they are doing for you.
MASM32 is a Win32 only assembler. It says so on the download page. Try Nasm or Masm 6.x(provided by MS).
NASM is great IMO, "better" syntax than MASM (et al) IMHO, and A LOT better than AT&T syntax *shrugs*. Capable of handling all the "new" MMX/SSE/SSE2/etc instructions as well... portable too!

I read somewhere that you can use masm32 to assemble dos programs. Perhaps that source was not good, I''ll check out some other tools.
i think you better get nasm
which is easier to use IMHO
anyway
for win 32 asm tutorials etc go to:
win32as mmessageboard
