I'd like to code a multithreaded program in FASM via calling Linux syscall API in order to better understand what's going on under the hood (compared to higher level programming).

How do You work best with the Linux syscall API in FASM? Are there any import libraries (like MASM32/Windows) etc.? Is it feasable beyond "Hello World" examples and instructive?

Addon question:
How do You work best with the OpenGL API in FASM?

Thanks for any advice in advance.

without linking to any external libraries(libc etc), you have to use the kernel syscalls directly. For a tutorial on how to call linux syscalls look here and for a reference on syscall numbers(x86 only) look here.

As for opengl, you would have to link to a library(eg. libMesaGL).
