Windows 7.6 won't Build with Fasmw154
« on: January 03, 2005, 05:17:02 PM »

Hello,

I'm adding a block of custom code to RF7.6 under windows.
I have downloaded the windows version of Fasmw154 to do the assembly.
I have altered the 'build.bat" and replaced all calls to Fasm with Fasmw.
During build, the block files become 'retroforth.f', no problem.
Then Fasmw starts to assemble the source files and stops on the first file.
Fasmw opens a window with MZ# where the numbersign is replaced with a character
I've never seen before ( sorta like an E but curved and with 2 center cross lines ).
If I choose the compile option on the fasmw file menu, I get an error -- illegal instruction,
with that "MZ#" symbol as the instruction.

I don't have enough experiance to debug this. Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
Ray St. Marie

please use the console version of fasm. FASMW.EXE is a GUI (graphical user interface) version of fasm.

build.bat has lines like

Code:

fasm standalone.asm ..\bin\rf.exe

- what you see inside the window is the pre-compiled version of retroforth that is shipped with the ZIP file you've downloaded. The "MZ" is the beginning of executable files on windows platform. The E could be the Euro-sign: �

Bis dann,
Helmar

Thank you Helmar. I have switched to the console version, and you are correct -- it works!!

Also, thank you for the explanation of the contents of the files.

Very much appreciated for the fast response.
