Compiling MASM using QT

ChrisPanda

Hello how can i enable masm for msvc? i need to compile .asm file

mrjj

Hi
MASM has no so much to do with Qt.

However, it should already be included in your VS installation.

Thanks for the reply sir but my problem is i dont know how do i compile inside the qt. but i know how to compile from VS

mrjj

Hi

Ah you mean to use it inside QCreator ? ( the IDE/editor)

You need to tell it about this new file type and setup to call masm.exe

like here

Its now working but do you know how i properly point my output file to its release directory? cause i found its generated obj file outside the release directory :D

ASM_FILES += \
      spoofer.asm

ml64.name = ML64 ${QMAKE_FILE_IN}
ml64.input = ASM_FILES
ml64.variable_out = OBJECTS
ml64.commands = ML64 /c ${QMAKE_FILE_NAME} /Fo ${QMAKE_VAR_OBJECTS_DIR}${QMAKE_FILE_IN_BASE}$${first(QMAKE_EXT_OBJ)}
ml64.output = ${QMAKE_FILE_IN_BASE}$${first(QMAKE_EXT_OBJ)}
ml64.CONFIG += target_predeps

mrjj

Hi
i think its the
ml64.output
you can try do

message($$ml64.output)
and see if that looks like the place.
then you might just need to append the release folder to it

Update: nope i was wrong. it's only the filename.
Not sure it will like to have a path there.

even if its not in the Release folder, it still links it ?

it seems you want it like this
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30265674/qmake-extra-compilers-output-directory-msvc

something like
ml64.output = ${QMAKE_VAR_OBJECTS_DIR}release/${QMAKE_FILE_IN_BASE}$${QMAKE_EXT_OBJ}
