Jwasm under Linux

[Gunther]

Since a few months, I'm using JWASM as my main tool under Windows. It's a well written and good maintained application and has a similar behavior like MASM, without such strong license restrictions. Under Linux, I've used over the years NASM and sometimes GAS. That's not an ideal solution. JWASM can produce both formats - ELF32 and ELF64 - and a bunch of others, of course. Is it a good idea, to re-compile JWASM for using it under 32 bit and 64 bit Linux?

It's probably not a good idea to create a JWasm 64-bit binary under Linux. Unlike Win64, data type "long" has 64-bit in "Linux64", which most likely will cause a few problems.

Andreas,

thank you for the reply. So, running the 32 bit version under 64 bit Linux would be an alternative, wouldn't it?
