Hi! could anyone give me a hello world example and explain to me how to compile it, just so that i get the syntax right.

Thanx!

if you have downloaded the masm32 package, there should be one there
the links in the upper right corner will get you there (masm32v10r.zip i think)
when installing, shut down all other programs so you will get no errors

welcome to masm32

this thread has a batch file for console apps...

Win32 hello:

Code Select Expand


.386
.model flat, stdcall
option casemap:none
include \masm32\include\windows.inc
include \masm32\include\kernel32.inc
includelib \masm32\lib\kernel32.lib
include \masm32\include\user32.inc
includelib \masm32\lib\user32.lib
.data
MsgBoxCaption db "A hello from win32 api!", 0
MsgBoxText db "Hello, world!", 0

.code
start:
push MB_OK
push offset MsgBoxCaption
push offset MsgBoxText
push NULL
call MessageBox
push 0
call ExitProcess
end start


If you're using the Masm32 QuickEditor, you can click on Project -> Assemble & Link.
If not, you will want to read what dedndave just linked :)

Hi rickszyr,

REM End of File masm32.bin.Makpdb.bat


Make 2 files one makpdb.bat which U will run from a Dos Box ie command prompt
ie Start,run,cmd,makpdb hellow

Other file hellow.asm
U will have to get to masm32.bin directory first and save hellow.asm

The pdb file is used by windbg, Olly, for single stepping!
