Assembling and Linking HOWTO

To assemble and link an assembly program (32 bits), use the commands:


$ nasm -felf foo.asm -o foo.o
$ gcc -m32 foo.o -o foo

However, on the lab machines you will need to use a different command:


$ gcc -m32 -B /home/mids/m164122/libc foo.o -o foo

This is a hack around the lab machines not currently having all of the packages you need to link the files. To make things more convenient, you can create an alias:


alias link32="gcc -m32 -B /home/mids/m164122/libc"

You can put that in your ~/.bashrc and then open up another shell so you can use this command as:


$ link32 foo.o -o foo

More information will be added here later.
