[Mingw-users] Trying to get mingw to work with nasm

[David L. <sna...@ya...>]

Hello. I'm trying to create a fake format program for
Windows 9x. It actually reads the sectors of the hard
drive, but writes nothing. I've written the part that
accesses the disk in assembler because I've never done
any hardware manipulation with C in Windows before.
I've worked on it all day and have finally gotten it
to compile with no unresolved symbols. However, when I
execute it in Windows (I'm compiling on FreeBSD), it
causes a page fault. I'm thinking maybe I'm still
leaving something out to make gcc and nasm play well
together. Below are the commands I run to compile the
program, and attached are my source files. Any help is
appreciated.

nasm -f elf format.asm
/usr/local/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/gcc -fpack-struct
main.c format.o -o format.exe
