Hello world using nasm in windows assembly

The biggest problem is that you are trying to use Linux interupts on windows!int 80 will NOT work on windows.

We are using Assembly, so your entry point can be ANY label you want. The standard entry point that ld looks for is _start, if you want to use another label, you need to tell ld with the -e optionSo if you want your start label to be main, then you need

global mainld -e main test.o -o test.exe

If you are going to use NASM on Windows, I will recommend using GoLink as your linker.Here is a simple windows console app:

STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE   equ -11NULL                equ 0global GobleyGookextern ExitProcess, GetStdHandle, WriteConsoleAsection .datamsg                 db "Hello World!", 13, 10, 0msg.len             equ $ - msgsection .bssdummy               resd 1section .textGobleyGook:    push    STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE    call    GetStdHandle    push    NULL    push    dummy    push    msg.len    push    msg    push    eax    call    WriteConsoleA     push    NULL    call    ExitProcess

makefile:

hello: hello.obj    GoLink.exe  /console /entry GobleyGook hello.obj kernel32.dll  hello.obj: hello.asm    nasm -f win32 hello.asm -o hello.obj

Although, this same program probably will run in WINE on Linux like a charm. :)

WINE doesn't prevent using Linux system calls from inside Windows PE binaries; the machine instructions run natively and WINE only provides DLL functions.
