Problems with DJGPP,NASM,and linker

[Magmadragoon]

I have Windows XP Professional Edition and whenever I click on nasm.exe, djgpp.exe or on the linker nothing happens. So mostly I wondering is the problem the operating system.

Because they're command line apps, clicking on them just runs the program and (Before you can see it) there's an error message and the program closes.

Learn the appropriate command line options.

What command line options do I need to know?

Try:

Code: Select all

nasm -h

more seriously, before you start heavy work, i suggest *cygwin* rather than DjGPP: it will be much more efficient for WinXP
