Stuck Iczelion Tutorial #2

From Iczelions tutorial #2 a little past half way down.


Now save the example under the name msgbox.asm. Assuming that ml.exe is in your path, assemble msgbox.asm with:

ml /c /coff /Cp msgbox.asm



I dont understand what I am supposed to do here. I have WinAsm open, but what is ml.exe? And where do I put those ... things :P In command prompt?

ml.exe is the masm assembler. You need ml.exe and link.exe to convert your .asm file to .obj file and later into an exe file . Which can be seen in your masm32/bin folder.

You don't to want worry about those command line options while ur in WinAsm. Just write ur src and compile from Make -> Go All. Thats all.I think Iczelion didn't had the luxury of a good masm IDE while he writing those tutorials :D .

you can configure switches from Project -> Properties. WinAsm help file contains detailed information about the switches to ml.exe and link.exe .

Ok, I tried to compile it but I got this error.

/SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /RELEASE /VERSION:4.0 "/LIBPATH:R:\Masm32\Lib" "R:\WinAsm\Samples\tut02\MSGBOX.obj" "/OUT:R:\WinAsm\MSGBOX.exe"
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "R:\WinAsm\Samples\tut02\MSGBOX.obj"

Make finished. 1 error(s) occured.

I dont know what this means :P

pack your project and attach here

Here ya go

*EDIT*
Doh! I put the tutorial in a folder. After it assembled, it put the .obj file in a different folder. And I guess when you build, they have to be in the same folder. Anyway, I got it to work. Well.. thats one more thing I know not to do! Thanks again guys.*EDIT*
