You should be using this NASM http://nsrt.edgeemu.com/nasmw.zip
It has a lot of bugs fixed.

Done! And I updated the archive, just in case. Right now I'm taking a crack at the -O0 problem, though with my track record I don't think I'll be getting far.

I have a lot of timing updates for MinGW and stuff that should also help towards the -O0 problem, but I'm not commiting it till ipher is back because I don't want to break MSVC.

MSVC is already broken. At least MSVC6.

Correction, your unpatched MSVC is broken.

There were no problems with it before. Anyway, where can I get the patch?

We weren't using C99 before. Look on MS's site for MSVC 6 updates.

Thanks. I've found microsoft released new service pack. I'll try it later.

Nach, I forgot to ask. Where are you getting these gnuwin32 nasm builds? The best I can do is to grab the Cygwin package?

TRAC (from SNEeSe) is the one who invented the GNUWIN32 patch. I'm compiling NASM myself using his patch. Not sure what I did with the patch...
It used to be included with older versions of SNEeSe. Now he uses an object conversion tool we discussed writing. I think I'll use that for ZSNES too, but didn't bother fixing the makefile for it yet.

Ok, I've installed the latest service pack from MS and tried to compile. I've got the same error.

So, is there a way to compile current zsnes source using MSVC6? With the latest service pack 6 I still get an error:

There's an entry:

Code: Select all

volatile __int64 copymaskRB = 0x001FF800001FF800LL;

Is it possible to convert it to something MSVC6 will understand?

I compiled it using mingw, thanks god..

Just one thing I wanna ask, how to tell gcc where my dxsdk headers are without modifing the makefile?
