Amiga Exe Hunks

[heavy]

hi

I'm searching the hunk for loading exe at an absolute address (with the directive ORG)
I tried asmone, devpac, but the directive Org doesnt work. with a68k I get a compilation error

thanks

there is no such hunk.
either an executable is in amigados hunk/object format, then its relocable.
or its a binary file without structure, which maybe an exe relocated to any address.

with ORG $01234 you can tell the assembler to assemble it for a specific address location. most assembler understand this.

you may also some packer to relocate a exe to a fixed address, alternatively you can use tools like 'reloc' from the whdload dev package to do the same

ok

what org $xxxx add to the exe ? How the system know where to load at $xxxx without packer reloc ?

thanks

it adds nothing, instead you will get a completly different file.
without ORG you get a standard hunk format executable
with ORG you get a binary image

amigados cannot run this binary image. you must load and run it yourself

Easiest way is to crunch the saved binary (i.e. program assembled to an absolute address) to a wanted address. There are plenty of crunchers around that support absolute addresses.
