This is a simple and tiny dockerised env to play around with nasm and elf on MacOS without requiring the overhead of spawning a VM all the time.
- Make sure Docker and GNUMake is installed
- Build asm environment using
make buildenv - Put your asm files under src. Make sure you have one main.asm which will act as the entry point.
- Compile, link and run your elf file using
make run - Output will be displayed on stdout
- The main.o and final elf file out will be generated under src it self.
- You can get rid of the above two files using make clean
- You can enter the asmenv and debug your code (not recommended) or the provided buildscript using
make rundebug - You can get rid of an existing asmenv container using
make clean-container
- The target elf is elf32
- This is a play project which I created for learning and playing around with NASM. Since I would be using linux syscalls from within the asm code, I needed to link the .o file with the appropriate C libraries and linux headers which is not at all possible when I am on mac for obvious reasons.
- There might be other ways to achieve the same thing but I decided to go with this one.
- There might be issues, I will be fixing them as and when required.
