> In the same thread from the author, they mention that asmc is a fork of JWasm 4, which was written in C. Maybe it’s as “easy” as swapping out one for the other - using gcc to build jwasm, then using jwasm to build asmc? You can probably skip that and use one of the nasm-compatible assemblers directly with 7zip's build process instead... > Even if I did want to use the prebuilt version, it’s dynamically linked to glibc so won’t work on alpine. I imagine the gcompat package will get it running. https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Running_glibc_programs https://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Running_glibc_programs The 7-zip code does admittedly scare me a bit at times, but the fact that it can be a pain to build isn't really that big of an issue. A lot of stuff is a pain to build. Like Chromium.
