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.
