build problem

[Klod]

I would like to try out poasm and polink but do run into a hitch.
this is my make file
C:\poasm\bin\poasm /AIA32 Image2.asm
C:\poasm\bin\polink /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS Image2.obj rsrc.res
pause

the build completes without any errors, but no exe file is build. All I got is obj file. It appears to me that there is a link problem.

Also, where can I download ;include \poasm\include\windows.inc ; include file from POASM test bed

I would like to set up poasm with radasm ide
thanks in advance

I don't see your resource compilation statement, statement that produces rsrc.res (either using porc or MS rc). Regarding windows.inc can't you guess ... it's been a year when hutch has abandoned that project (maybe it wasn't even a serious project, more like poasm test package for its early stage)  :lol  One you should know is that poasm is not much different from masm, you could have a certain amount of luck by copying files from masm32 to poasm32...

Indeed, PoAsm has not been supported much lately. But I did find some relevant articles by searching the forum for "poasm windows.inc".

An alternative may be GoAsm, which is available from here and is still in active development.

Hutch had a separate package for Poasm including the window.inc file. Unfortunately, it's not available anymore.

Thanks guys for your repleys.
It is the run of things, when something "new" comes out, there is the initial hype. usually it lasts for a short time only and then dies down.
To bad, poasm looked like a nice package from the code samples.

POASM is not dead ... nor is it hype. It actually performs very well and in some cases better than MASM.
Of course MASM would be able to do more things (being much older and wiser  :green :green)
The added bonus is a responsive dev who is quick to respond to bug reports.
POASM is also primarily to supplement (I think) the POIDE (Pelle's C Compiler with an IDE of it own)

Please do not be so quick to jump to conclusions about the "hype" !!!
Some issue regarding the WINDOWS.INC file giving problems can be quickly solved by commenting the problems line, etc. (Documented in the appropriate sub-forum)

Note: The problems show up because POASM is less tolerant of duplicates, which I think is a good thing!  :bg :bg

P.S.
(I wonder if there is comparison page somewhere the features of MASM and POASM are compared on a one-on-one basis)
