Error while console compiling

[silentenigma]

this is a hello world console codes i used:

Code Select Expand

;  A 16-bit DOS HelloWorld program originally by RedOx.  Produces a small model .EXE executable.

; To assemble and link from within WinAsm Studio, you must have a special 16-bit linker,
; such as the one in the archive at this URL- http://win32assembly.online.fr/files/Lnk563.exe
; Run the archive to unpack Link.exe, rename the Link.exe file to Link16.exe and copy it
; into the \masm32\bin folder.

.MODEL small
.stack 100h

.data
msg db "This is a 16-bit DOS .EXE executable",13,10,"Hello, World!",13,10,"$"; The string must end with a $

.code
start:
mov ax,@data ; Get the address of the data segment
mov ds,ax ; Set the DS segment
     
mov dx,offset msg ; Get the address of our message in the DX
mov ah,9 ; Function 09h in AH means "WRITE STRING TO STANDARD OUTPUT"
int 21h ; Call the DOS interrupt (DOS function call)


mov ax,0C07h ; Function 0Ch = "FLUSH BUFFER AND READ STANDARD INPUT"
int 21h ; Waits for a key to be pressed.

mov ax, 4C00h ; the exit fuction  [4C+no error (00)]
int 21h ; call DOS interrupt 21h
end start

But when i want to compile it in Radasm it gives that error:

Code Select Expand

Assembling: HelloA.asm
D:\Masm32\Bin\doslnk.exe /NOLOGO "HelloA.obj" "",,,,,""
Object Modules [.obj]: /NOLOGO HelloA.obj+
LINK : fatal error L1093: HelloA.obj : object file not found

so i opened quickeditor and tried "Project Menu>Console Assemble & Link" but it didnt work either. It gave the error:

Code Select Expand

Thanks for your help..!

First of all, are you sure you wanna deal with 16-bit assembly ? You can make console programs in 32-bit, too. You only need 16-bit if you're gonna program for DOS !!!

COFF output format doesn't know "groups". You have to remove the -coff cmdline switch from the line which launched the assembler.

In case you wonder where a "group" is defined in your source code: .MODEL SMALL will make the assembler define such a group (DGROUP), and symbol @data will become a text equate with value <DGROUP>.

Oh dude, you are extremely right. I wanna make 32bit console programs :red

That's better   :bg

If youget stumped search around or post a thread,I recently learned how to nicely read and write to the console (not too easy, at first)
