Getting started

[roddym]

Hi I'm pretty new to assembly language ( though I've tried a few online tutorials( failed in all)) I'm on a compaq presario SR2050NX( added ram) can anyone help me? ( best I've done with any assembler is no codes like mov or include statement or anything like that(aka blank slate lol))

oh one other thing I'm on windows 7

Hi

For learn if Izelion tutorials a good adress

best greets

no matter what code I've tried I get:

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "C:\try1.obj"

[roddym]

 I stand corrected I tried:

.386
.model small
.data
.code
start:
end start

and got this:

Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler Version 6.14.8444

I have test it

here is my solution
.model small,STDCALL

this works

[roddym]

nope nothing works for me , even in a math program that can write to file I can't open a a file for writing(i/o disabled by virus ?(or my own idiocy?)) so that stops that

[roddym]

which is weird as my antivirus looks to be working

the model directive will be different for 16-bit and 32-bit code - they also require different linkers
so, it depends on which type you are trying to write
give us some info
have you installed the masm32 package ?
maybe you could post some code
or - go to this link and d/l the attachment
there is a simple program of both types with batch files to assemble...

dedndave the error I get is it can't open the .asm file but unless I've affected the i/o structure of my pc( or a virus) that shouldn't affect a math program totally unrelated to masm as for code I've posted all the code I've tried.

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "C:\try1.obj"

ok - it can't open the OBJ
first - the root directory isn't the best place - lol - but it should work
does that OBJ exist ?
is it the right kind of OBJ file ?
you might want to look at the d/l from that link
in the batch files are the appropriate assembly and link command line parameters
it sounds like you may not have a COFF OBJ file
i can't tell, as you are not providing us with sufficient information

also, make sure you have a 16-bit linker for 16-bit code or a 32-bit linker for 32-bit code

have you installed the masm32 package ?
we can't help you without info   :P

[roddym]

figured it out though I still think my i/o is broke lol. I have the basics working lol

[roddym]

now what's the easiest way to print hello world ? or write to file ( test for io)

[roddym]

okay I've got code working in masm but apparently it's not valid win 32

.386
.model small,STDCALL
.data
.code
start:
mov eax,32h
end start
