Building

Requirements

On Windows, you will need the following to build SPASM-ng:

• Visual Studio with C++ support

  Visual Studio 2012 or newer is recommended, but it may be possible to downgrade. See http://stackoverflow.com/a/16196505 for more info.

On Linux, Mac OS X, and other *nix, you will need the following to build SPASM-ng:

• C/C++ Compiler (GCC, Clang, etc.)
• GMP Library (found at https://gmplib.org/)
• OpenSSL Library (found at https://www.openssl.org/)

Note that if you are using Linux, your distribution will likely have pre-built packages (and development packages) available to install. You should use these first before attempting to install the above libraries yourself.

Suggested packages for Ubuntu/Debian:

• build-essential
• libssl-dev
• zlib1g-dev
• libgmp-dev
• checkinstall (optional, only if you want to build Debian packages - .deb files)

Building

On Windows, simply build with the included Visual Studio project file.

On Linux, Mac OS X, and other *nix, simply build by running:

make

# Optional: install SPASM-ng (you may need sudo/su/root):
make install

For Debian systems, you can run the following to create a Debian package:

# You should "make clean" before running this!
make clean

# Create a Debian package (builds opt target):
make debian

Other Makefile commands:

# You should "make clean" before running any of this!
make clean

# Build with -static (static linking, bigger binary due to
# including libraries):
make static

# Build with -O3 optimization:
make opt

# Build with both -static and -O3 optimization:
make opt-static

# Create tarball of spasm-ng binary (builds opt-static target):
make tar
