Hi All,

I am working in a company that use entirely DOS and assembly to develop
a GUI platform and a variety of graphic related application.  I have
always been struggling to find an all-in-one solution for Linux assembly
program, so that we can do the porting.

From my experience, I think the most salient problem that hinder people
from using assembly as her development tool lies in the absent of a
robust assembly debugger.  Although people says gdb is good enough, I
still don't know how to treak it to symbolically debug my intel-syntax
asm program.  I've also try ald before, but I think it's the problem of
nasm, it cannot show the symbols too.

After I got the gift from Jeff, I've tried it out all night,  and I
finally figure out how to debug my asm program symboliclly under kdbg,
with his suggestion of using another version of nasm.  With Jeff's tool,
I finally can tried to start doing the porting.

I believe, with an integrated assembly development package, more and
more people using asm under DOS/MS Windows like me will give a try to
Linux.  Thanks Jeff for his endeavour, and of course other programmers
who contributed to the linux assembly tools.

Thanks and Regards,
Lawrence

latest version can. the older one can be patched:

Hi hp, thanks for your advice. I've tried this version of ald before, 
but still can't get full symbolic capability. I believe the problem is 
not attributed to ald, but the inability of nasm to generate proper 
debugging information to the debugger. I've also tried the amended nasm 
version you've post on your site too, but I still encounter failure.

If I am wrong on this point, would you please instruct me how to setup 
the debugging environment? For instance, which version of nasm/ld/ald 
should use, and if there are any parameter needed to be set during 
compliatoin, etc. After all, ald is much more similiar with the 
environment that I am using now.

Jeff,
I like assembly very much, and I would love to get a
job with it, but what can I do? I could not  find
anything!!

I would love also to work with Linux, but what can I
do?

I am presently working with VB and Windows XP.

If there would be any position available, I am Italian
but wouldnt mind going away with this purpose.

Is your project available somewhere?
Hope you are all well.
