Title: A dumb question?
Post by: MusicalMike on November 18, 2005, 02:30:58 AM
I know this is going to sound dumb, but is MASM available for linux?

No. Don't hold your breath waiting for Microsoft to make a linux version.  :bg

Joking asside, I am going to be installing linux on a notebook I have, and I would like to know, which assembler do you recomend I use. i would like it if it used the intel syntax, which is why I am not using GAS.

Mike,

Within the criterion you state, I don't recommend anything. Your choices are GAS, NASM and FASM as far as I can tell so if you want to write assembler in Linux, you will pick one of these.

Thanks. I will probably use NASM, because there are some things about FASM that annoy me.
