- Hello Linuxland!
-
- Could anyone help me with any of the folowing problems related
- to assembly programming under linux?
-
- 1) I'm using as86 because it uses the mnemonics which I like
- and am used to (Intel 8086). Should I use the slightly weird
- gas instead? How can I learn how to use it? Where are the
- docs/man pages for these things hidden in this vast world?
-
- 2) Why does as86 give me the following error:
-
- MOV DX,ES:[BX]
- ---------------------^
- Junk after operands
-
- 3) How is the video controller programmed directly under Linux,
- or for that matter, any Unix-style O/S?
-
- 4) What is an "unbound label"?
-
- 5) How hard/easy is it to mix C and assembler under Linux? I have
- experience doing this under DOS (386) and Ultrix (MIPS) but am a
- little scared to try under Linux. I'm trying to port my extensive
- library of VGA code from the DOS environment. So far, no problems
- except from the assembler.
-
- Any help greatly appreciated.
