command prompt does absolutly nothing

[Hans]

When i assemble & link the tutorial LOCALS.ASM in masm32 the assembler works perfect.
When i go to the command prompt i get,

"C:\MASM32\TUTORIAL\CONSOLE\DEMO4>locals
C:\MASM32\TUTORIAL\CONSOLE\DEMO4>"

This happens with every tutorial.
Why??

Hans,

The tutorials don't have a matching batch file to build them. If you wanted to build them manually from the command line, you would do it in two stages,

\masm32\bin\ml /c /coff yourfile.asm
\masm32\bin\Link /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE "yourfile.obj"


The tutes are kept simple but if you want to build simple console apps to learn from, try the templates in the editor to build test projects as the template builds a ""makeit.bat" file for each project.

The other thing is to make sure you build CONSOLE apps as console aps otherwise you have no console to point the text at from the console app. Use,

Console Assemble and Link
