M68HC12 GNU assembly

i am taking a class where we are programming m68hc12 microcontrollers i want to be able to write the code and compile it on my ibook instead of having to go to the lab and doing it there. i know you can write assembly in xcode but im stumped as to where to begin. ex: i have a code hw_7.asm but when i open it in xcode it won't let me compile it.

Open a terminal, cd to the directory and use the 'gas' command to assemble

eg.

gas -o hw_7.bin hw_7.asm

that outputs to hw_7.bin, compiling hw_7.asm . The traditional extension for asm files is just .s however. You may need to link the file manually with the ld command

man ld
man gas

should be very helpful

thanks for the help...i tried using the gas command and it tells me command not found i looked up help but no luck i am using bash terminal

Ugh, that's not happy. You need xcode installed, but that _ought to_ install GCC, GAS etc.

I hope people in the mac forum can give you more help, i asked this be moved there.
