How can I compile asMSX in windows 10?

Thanks, Fubukimaru! I really appreciate your effort, too.

Tniasm also supports phase/dephase.

Hello janghang, please accept my apologies. I didn't see this thread earlier. I'm not a frequent visitor on MRC.

Fubu is a full-time Linux user. I'm helping him out with asMSX where I can and I'm a Windows 10 and Visual Studio 2017 user.

The solution you tried to use is mine. It works very well for me as long as winflexbison executable files are somewhere in path.

About virus warning. I'm not sure why you are getting it. I'm using normal Windows 10 Pro x64 with whatever Microsoft anti-malware comes with it, and I never had any issues. Is it possible you tried a version that was just released, and the antivirus you are using collects statistics on how many users have this particular hash for it, and if below threshold, it complains. If this theory is right, just download an older version of winflexbison that is used by more people and so your antivirus hopefully won't get spooked by it.

Let me know if you would rather use WSL (Windows Susbsystem for Linux) version of flex/bison. Or may be you are comfortable installing MinGW or better yet msys2? Then you can adjust build rules for *.l and *.y files in Visual Studio solution.

In any case, thank you for trying asMSX. If you encounter more problems in the future, please open an issue: https://github.com/Fubukimaru/asMSX/issues. Fubu or contributors like myself will see it and address it promptly.

Another hint: if you don't like vs2017, you can use make, gcc, flex and bison from MinGW or msys2 to build a Windows executable using makefile.

OK, I just built from sources asMSX on Windows 10.

To do check list
NOTE - I cannot display angular parenthesis, I would like to do it, but I cannot do it, so just imagine they're here where they should be.

1a. build from sources dependency project winflexbison, starting with git clone winflexbison
PS C:\tempGZ> git clone https://github.com/lexxmark/winflexbison.git

1b. edit each one of three project files of winflexbison regarding WindowsTargetPlatformVersion and PlatformToolset,
for example I show one of them, i.e. common_lib, exactly the same for the three projects

PS C:\tempGZ\winflexbison> git diff VS2017/common_lib/common_lib.vcxproj
diff --git a//VS2017/common_lib/common_lib.vcxproj b/VS2017/common_lib/common_lib.vcxproj

1c. open winflexbison project solution in Visual Studio 2017 Community edition (on April 2019 Visual Studio 2019 will be launched) and build everything

2a. back to asMSX, git clone asMSX
PS C:\tempGZ> git clone https://github.com/Fubukimaru/asMSX.git

2b. modify project file adding executable path search for winflexbison built as above, see diff below

2c. open asMSX vs2017 project solution in Visual Studio 2017 Community edition and build everything

done :P

Zasm too.
