This is a git repository clone of the vasm source code.
You can find the original at the vasm home.
vasm is a portable and retargetable assembler to create linkable objects in various formats or absolute code. Multiple CPU-, syntax and output-modules can be selected.
Many common directives/pseudo-opcodes are supported (depending on the syntax module) as well as CPU-specific extensions.
The assembler supports optimizations (e.g. choosing the shortest possible branch instruction or addressing mode) and relaxations (e.g. converting a branch to an absolute jump when necessary).
Most syntax modules support macros, include directives, repetitions, conditional assembly and local symbols.
To compile vasm you can either use CMake, or choose a Makefile which fits for your host architecture.
The following Makefiles are available:
- Makefile - standard Unix/gcc Makefile
- Makefile.68k - makes AmigaOS 68020 executable with vbcc
- Makefile.Haiku - gcc Makefile which doesn't link libm
- Makefile.MiNT - makes Atari MiNT 68020 executable with vbcc
- Makefile.MOS - makes MorphOS executable with vbcc
- Makefile.OS4 - makes AmigaOS4 executable with vbcc
- Makefile.PUp - makes PowerUp executable with vbcc
- Makefile.TOS - makes Atari TOS 68000 executable with vbcc
- Makefile.WOS - makes WarpOS executable with vbcc
- Makefile.Win32 - makes Windows executable with MS-VSC++
- Makefile.Win32FromLinux - makes Windows executable on Linux
Then select a CPU- and a syntax-module to compile.
The vasm-binary will be called: vasm<CPU>_<SYNTAX>[_<HOST>]
Define VASM_CPU and VASM_SYNTAX when running cmake, e.g:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DVASM_CPU=m68k -DVASM_SYNTAX=mot ..
makeDefine CPU and SYNTAX when running make, e.g:
make CPU=m68k SYNTAX=mot- 6502
