Title: first.asm assembly error
Post by: marla on October 06, 2005, 12:04:42 AM
So I did the whole tutorial from madwizard.org. ok :P
I tried to compile the first.asm code, and I get the following error:


'ml' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
'link' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.


do i need to download a linker? and do i need to download whatever ml[.exe?] is?
i have first.asm and make.bat in the C:\masm32\ directory.

if i do need these files (doesnt masm32 come with a link? hmm.) where can i find them (tried google..)

Thanks alot, I've done all this reading, now i just want to click assemble :P
thanks in advance.

marla,

Welcome A Board  :U

Please use QEditor with the Examples in MASM32 directory.

Then use the build batch files under 'Project' to assemble the examples.

It would speed you along to work with the various Helps files in QEditor and the tutorials in the MASM32 directory.

After doing some this ground work, come back and ask more questions.

Regards,  P1  :8)
