Hi Guys, Well, we went back and re-visited the Assyntax.h stuff again, and worked through the problems we were having. The problems we had were as follows: 1. No 'good' cpp is available on Win32 with most compilers. To solve this we now have a copy of the Cygwin cpp.exe in our build path called 'gcpp.exe' that we use in our makefiles. 2. Segment naming was all wrong for NASM. Firstly the segment names can't be '.text' for most Win32 compilers, while the GNU C compilers require this. For Win32 compilers it should be '_TEXT'. 3. Segment attributes were wrong for NASM. The segment attributes were not defined in NASM, and a simple 'SECTION .text' was used. This causes problems because the default segment attributes used by NASM for OMF object files is use16, which means the code is assembled as 16-bit! You can imagine what havoc that caused ;-) So, we now have it working properly so that gcpp.exe is used to pre- process the code, and NASM will correctly assemble the resulting output. Better yet, it actually works at runtime now ;-). So for now it is working, albiet only for the Watcom C++ compiler on Win32. All bets are off for other compilers, but we only need Watcom C++ support because we build all the Mesa code into a 'Binary Portable DLL' with Watcom that is used with all compilers on all platforms.
