Windows build fails - yasm doesn't understand %use

[thiagomacieira]

NASM is present, but ISA-L wants to use YASM

checking for yasm... yes

Assembler does not understand AVX512 opcodes.  Consider upgrading for best performance.
Using yasm args target "mingw" "-f win64"

The build then fails with:

I have met the same problem in debian 9.13 with gcc 6.3 when building v2.31.0, and I can build v2.26.0 successfully.

[pablodelara]

Thanks for flagging this. Given that yasm is falling behind nasm (no official release in 5 years), we will remove YASM support. Does Debian 9.13 have NASM?

Thanks, i install nasm and remove yasm and then build isa-l successfully.
