Was it really that big a patch? All I was doing (with the exception of the ulong typedef, which is really a bug, if a small one) was configuring the Makefile for the OP. I'm sorry if I made it look like dasm was unmaintained or something, but I just wanted to solve the OP's problem. > I'm a bit miffed that this has happened this way, instead of the "polite" > way.

Well, I apologize. I would never actually send in the previous patch to a program's maintainer, though, because it was done without explanation of why the changes were made, and without careful consideration of the effects of each change by someone who understands the program. While I have your attention, the three things that should change: 1) the aforementioned ulong typedef (for obvious reasons). 2) either the C++ style comments, or the -ansi option should be removed when compiling with gcc. 3) -noixemul isn't a recognized option on any of the versions of gcc I have around. Also, having a make clean rule in the Makefile, and not including exp.obj (exp.obj: 80386 COFF executable not stripped - version 25970) in the distribution, would be other suggestions I have. A few comments in the Makefile about what to uncomment for various platforms might be helpful, too. I can make a more comprehensive patch that addresses all these issues and submit it, if you'd like. I've been meaning to write debian build rules for dasm, anyway.
