I know this isnt really the place, but I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction. I have received great help in the past, and I thought of you guys after trying to search for pointers. I am going to start an assembly class this coming semester, and I need an assembler. I love Dev-Cpp, but one of our projects is making extensions to a small operating system. What I need is an assembler that can compile a kernel. Some pointers would be great. If it matters, we are giving a choice of either Intel or AT&T syntax, but I think the kernel we will be building on is in Intel syntax. So do any of you guys know of an assembler that can handle Intel and/or AT&T syntax and can compiler a kernal? I know TASM is available, but I cannot afford the $129.99 price tag, and the salesperson didnt even say if the newest version could compile a kernel or not. Thanks for you help, and please dont tell me to search the web. I have searched, and I have fund many tutorials and many programs available for free, but all of them seem to make only 32 bit code for windows or 16 bit code for dos, and I none specifically list kernels in their save.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
ok well can anybody point ME in the right directiong for compiling the linux kernel on windows?is dev-C++ 4.9.9.2 able to?Right now i have it,MinGW gcc-g++.gc and GNU MAKE,BINUTILS,COREUTILS,and i downloaded the LFS book from http://linuxfromscratch.org but i need to know if it is able to do this.

Try NASM

Aren't there assembler-projects on source-forge?

There is some assembly information in one of my favorite free resources links...don't know if there is anything that will help a lot, but here goes:

Yes, NASM is the right way to go.
