Trying out vlink and vasm
 

If you are a FreeBSD user and want to try out vlink and vasm then continue reading.

The well known Amiga assembler vasm has been in the FreeBSD ports tree for some time now. I have taken the task to maintain the port and keep it up to date. It is lacking a bit behind the upstream version (1.7e).

I would be very happy to have feedback so I can improve the port and give the users the best possible experience. Please try it out on real Amiga programs/code.

I have also created a new port of the well known linker, vlink. It has not been accepted for submission yet but it can be found in the bugzilla system. I would be happy to receive feedback on this port too.

Oh, you were the one who did it? Tak skal du have! :)

Although it is quite easy to build vasm or vlink, it is always nice to have an easily installable port package of it. Unfortunately I have no machine running with FreeBSD. I'm developing under NetBSD most of the time.

Du bist herzlich willkommen. So you are the author I assume ?

It is easy to build, true. Having it in the ports tree is more like quality assurance. I use FreeBSD for server stuff etc. and as a user I know the software from the ports tree is high quality, easy to install, and I don't need to worry about virus and such (all submission has been through a review and are open to the public).

NetBSD ... hmmm .. Maybe I should also submit it to pkgsrc ;)
