Anybody doing any Intel OSX Asm yet?

[S/390]

Hey guys, long time no see... I've been swamped with mainframe stuff for the last several months, and haven't had any time for my favorite hobby. ::)

So has anybody done anything with OSX? I've heard that the "API" is difficult, any comments on that? Any reference links? :8)

From what I have found, the assembler (called gas or as) is from the GNU gcc compiler binary utilies.
It uses AT&T syntax and the assembly files have an extention of .s

From the above link NASM may also be usable.

I've been working on porting HLA to FreeBSD, which will be followed by OSX.

Win32 is difficult. The problem is that you're almost starting from scratch. You've forgotten how miserable the Win32 API was when you were first learning it :-)
