There are some problems building spasm from svn on linux.
(libgmp library is installed, gcc version 4.4.1, x86_64 target)

Buildlog:

Help appreciated

I can try and help with some of this. First I would say try updating to the latest on the svn, I know spencer committed some stuff to me yesterday. It may or may not make this easier, so keep a backup of the current version you have. Second, Spencer changed -DWITH_REUSABLES to -DUSE_REUSABLES without telling anyone, that needs to be fixed. I believe I had one place in the source where it was not fixed however, so do a search to be sure. For the _declspec problem just get rid of it, its in storage.h and storage.c on free storage. Its for a windows dll
see what that fixes

is it possible to use macro's whit arrays? like this:

#define get(x) {"001.z80", "002.z80", 003.z80}[x]

<......>

#include get(1)
#induce get(2)

would help in creating user-friendly environment for my game.

second: can i call .exe from a macro?

edit: third,
#include "/compressed/" + string
does not work?

edit: nevermind, i got it fixed by creating a bunch of .bat files outputting hundreds (222, to be exact) of #IFDEF macro's in my source...

first time my batch programming skills are actually usefull

Bug report: .fill apparently wants the fill byte to be a signed char, meaning that any byte 128 to 255 will give a warning.

[Galandros]

Has the bug that calcmaniac reported fixed?

Anyway, latest spasm can be found in http://wabbit.codeplex.com/

It has new features like the built-in clr(), wr() and run() macros and timing options.
Spencer, you should document those.
And I should finish my spasm and z80 macros along with some documentation about interesting macro code...

EDIT: have fun with this bugs:
;rst does not accept equates
rst rMov9toOP1 ; rst 20h

; this string compares gives error, not that really important
#define str "o"
.echo ("o"=="o")
.echo (str=="o")

I haven't checked the .error inside a macro that returns a value recently...

[Galandros]

Why SPASM says $FF does not bit in 8-bits?
.fill 768,$FF

I am talking about the latest build on http://wabbit.codeplex.com/

This should be solved.

;rst does not accept equates
rst rMov9toOP1 ; rst 20h
error: RST doesn't take these arguments
