conda Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 I'm having a little trouble getting xasm to work. If I try to compile code that has no syntax errors, everything works fine and I get the object file. But, if I compile code with wrong syntax, it just returns to the prompt with no error messages. I keep typing the wrong syntax because I am used to PC assembler and xasm just dies with no errors. It's a real pain not knowing what the errors are. Any ideas? I'm using xasm v2.5.2 Thanks.

Bruce Tomlin Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 Any particular reason you're using that? Most folks around here use DASM. Except me, but that's only because I wrote my own. ( http://xi6.com/hacks/ ) I haven't heard of this one before, and I'm probably not the only one, so you might want to give us a link or something.

Tom Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 i looked at xasm a few months ago. while i was reading the documentation (especially the faq) i found enough reasons not to use it http://atariarea.histeria.pl/x-asm/doc/xasm.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted September 10, 2004 Share Posted September 10, 2004 xasm is perfect for atari800/5200 coding... and is 100% done for atari computers...once you are used to it you'll never touch another because of its rapid development (incl. xboot tools)... i (and others as well) use xasm now for many years... f.e. the mario clone by analmux or numen demo were written in our assembler... my xasm version does print errors + lines when an error accured... check my "v-wrapper" thread. in the zip is my xasm version which i use...maybe yours is corrupt in a way?

Ok, I checked the xasm files and they are the same. I then created a bug in your program and compiled it with the xasm in your zip and I still get no errors. Do I need a command line switch or something to display errors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
