I really don't wan't to install wine as I hate windows. Is there a IDE for fasm that runs on linux?

i would be surprised if the sources were not avalible. I don't think it would be to much trouble to compile the IDE curently use under windows for linux, but maybe im terible wrong. Anywaym i wouldnt know how to do it.

when that is said i really dont understand the need for an IDE.

If the IDE was written in Assembler, it's probably using the Windows API.

How exactly would he "compile" it for Linux Zacariaz?

when i wrote it i was not completely sober but asuming the code is portable, why not?

just because it is an IDE for fasm, doesn't mean its written in asm...

although i know of very few GUI's for windows that have been written using a portable library.

Actually, it IS written in ASM, FASM to be more precise. The Windows GUI for FASM is called FASMW and it is self-compilable and doesn't use any portable libraries. However, the interface is pretty simple and the number of Windows API is kept to a minimum. I think anyone who knows Linux programming AND Windows programming can easily port it, or the syntax highlighting can be added to an existing Linux editor like Emacs.

In case you haven't noticed assembly is a lot more complex than C much harder to port, just look at the fasmw code.

FASMW happens to be my favorite IDE, and I HAVE looked at the code. It only looks scary because it's written in assembly. The fact is that anyone who knows how to write "Hello world" in colored text in a Linux window can create this interface.
