|

|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Installing nasm is pretty straightforward on Unix or Unix-like systems
|
|
|
|
|
with Perl and GNU tools installed, including MinGW for Windows with
|
|
|
|
|
MSYS installed. Perl is optional for compiling unmodified sources
|
|
|
|
|
from a tarball, but is required to build from git or for most source
|
|
|
|
|
modifications.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you checked out source from git you will need to run autoconf to
|
2003-08-29 19:05:39 +00:00
|
|
|
generate configure, otherwise you don't have to.

|
|
|
|
2003-09-01 04:19:37 +00:00
|
|
|
$ autoheader
|
2002-04-30 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
$ autoconf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then run configure to detect your platform settings and generate makefiles.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ./configure
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-08-29 19:05:39 +00:00
|
|
|
You can get information about available configuration options by
|
|
|
|
|
running `./configure --help`.

|
|
|
|
2003-08-29 19:05:39 +00:00
|
|
|
If configure fails, please send bug report with detailed platform
|
|
|
|
|
information to <nasm-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net> and we will try to
|
|
|
|
|
help you asap!

If everything went okay, type
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-08-29 19:05:39 +00:00
|
|
|
to build nasm, ndisasm and rdoff tools, or
|
2002-04-30 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make everything
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to build the former plus the docs.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
You can decrease the size of produces executables by stripping off
|
|
|
|
|
unnecessary information, to achieve this run
|
2002-04-30 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make strip
|
|
|
|
|
|
2003-08-29 19:05:39 +00:00
|
|
|
If you install to a system-wide location you might need to become
|
|
|
|
|
root:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ su <enter root password>
|
2002-04-30 21:09:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
then
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
optionally followed by
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make install_rdf
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or you can
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ make install_everything
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
to install everything =)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Thats it, enjoy!

2. Installing nasm from source (Windows/MS Visual C++)
|
|
|
|
|
======================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The recommended compiler for NASM on Windows is MinGW
|
|
|
|
|
(http://www.mingw.org), but it is also possible to compile with
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Visual C++ (tested with Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To do so, start the "Visual C++ Command Shell", go to the directory
|
|
|
|
|
where the NASM source code was extracted, and run:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> nmake /f Mkfiles/msvc.mak
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We recommend MinGW over Visual C++ 2005 as we have found it to be more
|
|
|
|
|
up to date with regards to C99 compliance, and we are increasingly
|
|
|
|
|
using C99 features in NASM.
