asl (portable macro cross assembler) ASL is a portable macro cross assembler for a variety of microprocessors and microcontrollers. Though it is mainly targeted at embedded processors and single-board computers, there are also CPU families in the target list that are used in workstations and PCs. For a full list of targets, see: http://john.ccac.rwth-aachen.de:8000/as/as_EN.html#sect_1_2_ Note: The source downloaded is a snapshot. There hasn't been an ASL release since 1999, although development snapshots are still released every month or so. Build options: UTF8=yes - Set this in the environment if you want ASL to use UTF-8 for its log and error messages. By default, ISO-8859-1 is used. TESTS=no - Don't run ASL's test suite. This should only be used on slow systems to save building time. DOCTYPES - ASL's documentation can be installed as HTML, PDF, PostScript, and/or plain text. DOCTYPES is a space-separated list of formats, which may include any of: html pdf ps txt. The default is "html". If you plan to print a copy of the docs, you might want e.g. DOCTYPES="html pdf". All formats are installed to /usr/doc/asl-$VERSION/, as usual.
