Hi ,
I wonder how many try this same but give up because it doesn't just work. I've done the same , needed something , found a few packages on the net , first one that installs and appears to work get used , the rest get dumped , even though they could be way better . and if the package does what I want then I wont change it for another . Even if the package isn't perfect , then I'm more likely to continue with my current package than have to start from scratch with a new one. We bundle yasm with the linux build , and the linux bod's don't need to know or care about it, How about the same for the windows bod's ? The only problem I can see is that can VC use yasm.exe without installing it into a "system" directory?
