MASM32 Compilation Procedure

[vennila]

Hi,

I have written an 8086 assembly program using MASM32 Version 9.0 editor. I don't know how to compile it, create exe file and to run it.

Is there any condition in the path where the software to be installed.

Kindly help me.

If you are using the MASM32 editor (Quick Editor) that was installed with the MASM32 package, then you do not need to set a path, or any other environment variable. If you are working from a directory anywhere on the drive where MASM32 is installed, as long as there are no names with embedded spaces anywhere in the directory path, then you should be able to assemble, link, and run your app from the Project menu.

Thanks for spending ur precious time to clear my doubt.One more help

Actually i dont know which option in the Quick Editor menus should be used to assemble,link and create the EXE file.

Could u please list out the steps to be followed to Create a EXE file for an 8086 assembly program

Before you start wrestling with your own code, try building some of the examples. To start:

1. Open Quick Editor
2. Select Open on the File menu
3. Navigate to \masm32\examples\exampl01\generic
4. Double-click generic.asm
5. Select Build All from the Project menu
6. After the build completes close the cmd window
7. Select Run from the Project menu
