  Wow, thanks for that! It's still a little painful, but here goes: # file:hello.s # # Translated to gas syntax. # assemble with: # as --64 -o hello.o hello.s # link with: # ld -o hellos hellos.o # # Modifications to original code considered trivial and to be # public domain. # # Support intel syntal vs. ATT and don't use % before register names .intel_syntax noprefix .section .data msg: .asciz "hello, world!\n" .section .text .global _start _start: # write syscal mov rax, 1 # file descritor, standard output mov rdi, 1 # message address mov rsi, OFFSET FLAT:msg # length of message mov rdx, 14 # call write syscall syscall # mov rax, 60 mov rdi, 0 syscall Note the trailing new-line in the message (and length change from 13 to 14). For nasm: section .data msg db "hello, world!",`\n` ;; Remember to use 14 for string length!
