Install the codeblocks by running the setup. exe file you downloaded. -
Extract and install nasm into the codeblocks folder, e.g. , C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin. -
Check whether the installation is working or not by the source code below for a test run. This is a Win32 console program that writes "Hello, World" on one line and; then exits. It needs to be linked with a C library. -
Save the source code above as helloworld. asm in the location: C:\Program Files\CodeBlocks\MinGW\bin. -
Run nasmpath. bat. Enter this command: nasm -f win32 helloworld.asm. It should produce a helloworld.obj file in the same directory. -
Execute the object file by typing: gcc helloworld.obj. It should build a file named a.exe. -
9Type a.exe to run the test program and get your result. The words "Hello, World" should display on the screen.
