Re: Smpeg MMX asm compilation (problem)

Thanks all-
how do you call macros in GNU as?- I've tried copying examples from the 
net but gas complains about the syntax.
Or do I need to be running the file through GCC instead to use the 
#define's?

A few more questions:
from mmxflags_asm.S:
What is .Lfe1?
Is it a register, a function call?

Is there a table somewhere for all the different "@" types and their 
respective int's (ie @object, @function, etc)?



And I'm now looking at 
http://cvs.icculus.org/*checkout*/cvs/smpeg/video/mmxidct_asm.S?rev=1.7
which's even more complicated. How do I go about converting something 
like this?

I am absolutely astounded at the lack of documentation on this stuff, on 
the web- usually when I'm researching something I can google it in about 
15 minutes, even when it's relatively obscure-
but pages on differences between COFF/PE & ELF syntax are naught, and 
COFF pages seem scarce- any useful URL's you have would be... useful?
Thanks again,
M@
