I think it should be possible to solve this by using the __asm keyword,
because the inline assembler is integrated in the compiler. This is just
an idea, I don't know how much trouble could come with this, as it would
require rewriting/reorganizing .asm files into .c ones.
And what would that do to portability. (It's odd we've gotten to the
point where we're having trouble finding an *assembler* for windows... LOL)

I had the same problem - I have to use the non-free-as-in-beer,
certainly-not-as-in-speech MSFT Visual Studio .NET 2003 toolchain,
plus some other package thingy from MSFT that adds something to it. (I
don't remember).
I keep forgetting to suggest this to people who pop in here... can
someone who has the time and patience *please* take a run at getting
this to build with :
1) The free-as-in-beer MSFT tool chain
2) GCC and it's brethren, either via MinGW or Cygwin
I currently think of our tooling requirements as a barrier to entry.
As for ml.exe, I had the same problem when trying the free MSFT tool
chain, and I did find a free assembler somewhere that was meant to
replace ml.exe (it wasn't from MSFT).
This would be a great help, anyone....

I tried same thing before, and failed in same reason, I cannot find
this message in mailing list archive, but I remembered I asked this
question before. The facts made me crazy is I had to download all
those things like MS platform SDK, .Net SDK and vctoolkit2003, and
then had to hack some files in platform SDK(not the *hack* really
means, just copy some file from one directory to another), however at
last, I found I cannot find free ml.exe to compile *.asm. Seems the
ml.exe was free, but it isn't now.

Hello
I'm trying to build Harmony on Windows XP with free MSFT soft only.
I've downloaded already ~1Gb of various free MSFT soft, made some hacks
on various files and now need to compile *.asm we have in native-src.
<note> our readme does not mention that type of files </note>
Is there any way to get ml.exe from MSFT for free?
Thanks,
Mikhail
