Can't you just use the Makefile? Or, did you modify so much of it that the Makefile is no longer relevant?

So you're proficiently skilled in x86 assembly but lack the skills to use an assembler?

I'm not at all convinced...

Anyway, Google "fasm"...

All the source code did not come with the makefile at all it was just the source.

If possible, make one to link all sources

If you are talking about kernel then there is one file that you need to open and compile with Fasmw (in Windows).
If you are talking about apps then you'll have to open each file with Fasmw and compile it separately or make .bat file in Windows(alternative to makefile in Linux).
If you decide to go with .bat then you should use 'fasm' program probably not 'fasmw'
I was taking about latest 32bit version

As you can see there are lots of IFs that you need to clarify. But hopefully you can do it on your own now.

With fasm most program just use one main file, with the rest has include files, has exkor said.

To assemble menuetOS you would do this:
c:\fasm KERNEL.ASM KERNEL.MNT

Or you could just click on the build.bat
