Re: Problem Linking (win32)

Thanks for posting that, Frank. That helps, as I noticed that the
nasm32.inc encodes the following which demonstrates that you're
correct (I did not see Brian using an %include for that file):

I am not including any macros in my file. I'm using the latest
version
of nasm and the latest version of golink. I want to feel out NASM
some
more before I start to use macros. I'm just following the NASM manual
for the sections for win32 coff.

A consistent error occurs upon the loading of my asm. No error occurs
at loading if I leave out functions that link back to msvcrt.dll. I'm
not sure if this is a linking problem or a loading problem or
something else.
I do know that I do not have this problem when building with alink
and
OMF files.

Here's another example. This example results in this error being set
upon loading:

ERROR_ENVVAR_NOT_FOUND (000000CB)

And this happens every time. Check out the value of eax after
GetLastError is called. This could just be an issue with MS's loader
on xp.

;nasm -f win32 atext.asm
;golink /console atext.obj kernel32.dll user32.dll msvcrt.dll

extern printf
extern ExitProcess
extern GetLastError

section .text text CLASS=TEXT

global start
start:

call [GetLastError]

push dword sText
call printf
add esp, 4

push dword 0
call [ExitProcess]

section .data data CLASS=DATA

sText dd "Test", 0

Any ideas? Can you reproduce my error on your machines?
