Standalone assembler that accepts string defines?
I need to package up a small assembly project so that even non-coders can use it. My requirements are quite specific though, and I haven't managed to find one that matches all of:
Must be a standalone executable for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux.
Must allow the definition of string constants on the commandline, e.g. -Dfilename="princeofp+8D.prg", which can then be used by .INCBIN filename.
So far I've tested, and rejected:
ca65: only numeric commandline defines, requires cc65 install.
acme: no commandline defines.
dasm: only numeric commandline defines.
dreamass: only numeric commandline defines.
kickassembler: string defines, but requires java.
64tass: only numeric commandline defines.
Is there anything else? |

If you find a standalone CPP (c pre processor) you can fix the define-part yourself... |

Yeah, or M4, or sed, or anything really... but that's plan B :) |

The source for dreamass is available. I do accept patches, if you nag enough I'll even apply them ;) |

The wla assembler is apparently able to accept string defines on the command line:

I also think (but not sure here) that you can do this with the xa assembler:

echo "whatevercrap" > bla.inc
.include "bla.inc"
?
should work with any assembler :) |

Well, that is not a restriction for any of the mentioned target platforms. "java -jar kickass.jar" will work fine on all of them. You'll end up in more trouble with any other native executable.

@Ninja: as Berlios is closing - where will the project likely move? |

xa fits the bill perfectly, thank you! WLA also looks neat, but it seems to be very much cartridge based.
