Nothing else should be needed.</p> <h2 id="why-use-visual-c-and-not-gcc">* Why use Visual C++ and not GCC?</h2> <p>Because I'm using the systems I'm the most familiar with. In this case that would be Visual C++ and C# (though C# is only used for some post built tools). On the whole it is a very good compiler and has good optimization so its not a bad choice in this case. Though I wouldn't object to providing build tools for GCC.</p> <h2 id="why-use-masm-and-not-nasm">* Why use MASM and not NASM?</h2> <p>I wanted to try and use a stock version of Visual C++ to do this, and that means using MASM. On the whole I would prefer to use NASM (and it's not that hard to add it as a built tool to VS). In the future I might move the code over to NASM and just accept the cost of setup. If I do make custom rules for NASM I will contribute them to the project.</p></div>Fox CutterSun, 16 Mar 2014 05:01:47 -0000https://sourceforge.net60732ad7b3a5f1708aef16b8df9d7247f725d5c6
