Hello,

why the fasm has no executable file ( object file )

and how could make it executable, note that I have no

GCC.

thanks alot

Use the libc version, is a generic package for all *nix with libc

Al you need is link the object file with libc

gcc fasm.o -o fasm

Other option is to use linux version in a compatibilty mode of freebsd.

I'm not unix user, so is all that i can say for now.

Maybe later an expert in unix could give you better explanation.

Cheers.

yumka, thanks alot

http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=6210 (In that case I downloaded the libc version which is an object file and then I linked it on FreeBSD)

FreeBSD Now comes with CLang (C & C++ Language compiler) supporting both objective and specification 11 in both C & C++ natively compiled for the O.S. Anyone considering a BSD derivative or a new compiler will appreciate the fact that CLang is cross platform and designed modularly. It's quick, clean, extensible and open sourced under a BSD license. Additional support includes LLVM as a backend and LLDB (debugger) at various levels of development.

Have not used LLDB or explored LLVM greatly, but am pleased with CLang's simplicity. Familiar with the GCC commandline interface CLang takes the fasm object and outputs an executable requiring little syntax.

clang fasm.o -o fasm

...same as GCC, but CLang is native to the platform it was itself compiled for and comes stock with the BSD systems now. Less download, installation and versioning headaches - to a degree. It's taken a while, but BSD and CLang are both getting where they should be.

Sad that the last post prior is dated 2007 -- kind of yanks my chain...

Enjoy!

Oddly, by the way -- the fasm executable output (on my system) is at 96.6 K. It almost worries me that the executable should be larger, but have noticed that FAsm compiles to a much smaller size in FreeBSD than in Windows -- as long as it runs...
