Compiling from Source

The compiling from the git source has been tested on Debian 9 Stretch for nasm 2.16.01. Meanwhile this version is available via package. The current (2024-02-05) source release is 2.16.02rc10.

Dependencies

aptitude install xmlto asciidoc docbook autoconf

Source

mkdir -p /srv/g/github.com/netwide-assembler
cd /srv/g/github.com/netwide-assembler
git clone https://github.com/netwide-assembler/nasm.git

Compiling

The following will compile nasm from source and install it in /opt. And it requires a modern version of autoconf 2.71 or higher. This would work on Debian 10 Buster and Debian 11 Bullseye, but requires autoconf from source for Debian 9 Stretch.

# As root:
mkdir -p /opt/{bin,share}
chown $USER.$USER /opt/{bin,share}

# As user $USER
sh autogen.sh
aclocal: installing 'autoconf/m4/pa_add_cflags.m4' from [...]
[...]

configure --prefix=/opt
make
[...]
sm -I./output -I./output -Wl,--gc-sections -o ndisasm disasm/ndisasm.o libnasm.a
make[1]: Leaving directory '/srv/g/github.com/netwide-assembler/nasm'

make strip
strip --strip-unneeded nasm ndisasm

make manpages
asciidoc -b docbook -d manpage -o nasm.xml nasm.txt
xmlto man --skip-validation nasm.xml 2>/dev/null
asciidoc -b docbook -d manpage -o ndisasm.xml ndisasm.txt
xmlto man --skip-validation ndisasm.xml 2>/dev/null

make install

This will install into /opt:

bin
├── nasm
└── ndisasm
share
└── man
    └── man1
            ├── nasm.1
                    └── ndisasm.1
