Installing/Compiling NASM package on Mac OS X Maverick

Question

I have downloaded the Mac OS X NASM Assembler package from the NASM website and followed the instructions.

These are the instructions: NASM is an auto−configuring package: once you’ve unpacked it, cd to the directory it’s been unpacked into and type ./configure. This shell script will find the best C compiler to use for building NASM and set up Makefiles accordingly.

When I do exactly that I get the error No such file or directory. Has anyone seen and solved this problem? I have seen similar posts but they do not contain an answer. Thank you in advance!

Answer 1

Try using the NASM bundled with Xcode.

 which nasm
/usr/bin/nasm

Answer 2

My stock answer for these types of question is "use macports":

After installation, it's as simple as:

$ sudo port install nasm
