[Dorset] Linux Assembly Programming.
Hi Brian, Are there any members using assemble in Linux? As I rather fancy getting back into some real programming and any advise would be appreciated. For x86? The initial thing is to realise there's two main syntaxes, ATT and Intel. Intel x86 is found outside Unix, e.g. DOS. ATT has spread from non-x86 and has some advantages but it back-to-front for someone used to Intel. gas(1) is ATT, although I think it takes Intel too these days. nasm(1) is Intel. Here's a comparison of the two assemblers, and the HOWTO is oldie-but-goody. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-gas-nasm.html http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Assembly-HOWTO.html You may find this implementation of FORTH in x86 interesting, both from the FORTH and the x86 point of view. http://www.annexia.org/forth Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: Somewhere quiet, Bournemouth, ???day 2010-12-?? 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

Go ask mike.saund...@futurenet.com and look at his x86 OS assembler project: mikeos.berlios.de -- Next meeting: Somewhere quiet, Bournemouth, ???day 2010-12-?? 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue

Shame, looks like you're right. We only ship within the United States and Canada. Strange, because most US companies I've dealt with seem happy to ship things overseas. I've even bought car parts from the USA in the past and saved money that way, including shipping! Perhaps your company that sells things properly could also be a UK distributor for System 76? ;) Bumping a very old thread, but I just spotted http://zareason.com They supply desktops, laptops and servers either without OS or with a choice of a few Linux distros. They also have peripherals and bits and bobs. They do ship overseas. Their prices look pretty good. You have to allow for duty (approx 4% or so?) and VAT of course. I like their warranty terms and their general attitude. It doesn't specifically say they honour the warranty internationally, but it doesn't say they don't. I'm sure someone could just ask them. Anyway, Novatech might work out cheaper but it's nice to have choice, innit? -- Next meeting: Somewhere quiet, Bournemouth, ???day 2010-12-?? 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ How to Report Bugs Effectively: http://goo.gl/4Xue
