Assembler Error

J-The-Grey · Post by **J-The-Grey** » Tue Dec 02, 2008 12:57 am

After all I tried to compile some example stuff on my Mac but got an error message:

PureBasic - Assembler error
sh: nasm: command not found

Of course I installed xcode. And of course I used the x86 version of PB (4.3b5). What more do I need?

nasm should be with the XCode package. If you open a terminal and type 'nasm' in it, does it work ? try 'gcc' as well.

I just installed xcode again just to be sure. After a reboot I get the same error-message when trying to compile ANY PB-code.

I am able to compile with xcode the example-projects that came with xcode.

Do I just need to type "nasm" or "gcc" in a terminal in order to test if it works?

then you have problem with your XCode installation, as it should be available from commandline. IIRC, you have to check 'commandline tools' when installing XCode.

aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhhhh......

I can't believe that, but in fact I didn't install the command-line tools because I thaught I don't need "unix-tools"....

Thank you! Everything works fine now!!!!
