Moving this to "Unix" so it can play with all the other Mach-O threads.

BTW: Check out the sticky-ed thread in this forum to find some working code.

Actually, it seems now that I may sooner write a Mach-O formatting macros for fasmg than the formatter for fasm. Looking at the ELF formatting macros that I already have, I think that doing the same for other similar object formats should be really easy. Though I still don't have any place where I could test Mach-O files (I guess these machines are not as popular in my country).

If I have a large macro-laden project written for the original fasm, will it assemble without issue in fasmg?

No. You will have to edit the macros. fasmg is very different from fasm.

Still, I was able to make HeavyThing project assemble with fasmg after relatively little changes. In some aspects it even got improved, since fasmg allowed the "globals" macro to respect "if used" blocks.

If you are seriously interested, I could probably get an OS X virtual machine running next to the board for a while if you needed. (After of course I finish my current todolist)
