I don't know about using BIOS calls, etc., but I've
assembled and linked a few NASM assembly functions.
I didn't use ELF format, though. There's a gnuwin32
format that works with Cygwin.
I've only ever linked them as functions called via
the C environment, but if you take the following:
; standalone.asm
section .text
extern _printf
global _main
_main:
push ebp
mov ebp,esp
push dword [value]
push dword format
call _printf
add esp, byte 8
leave
ret
segment .data
value dd 0x87654321
format db 'Should be 87654321: %0lx',10,0
and assemble, link, and run it as follows:
nasm -f gnuwin32 standalone.asm
gcc standalone.o
./a.exe
It does the right thing. :-)
