m68k assembler

["Bruce Adams" <bruadams at tycoint dot com>]

Hi all,
        I'm playing with an alleged cross assembler for m68k (given up on
trying to build the C++ compiler for now )-:
It doesn't seem to recognise assembly at all.  This is true whether I use
one I built myself or a downloaded rtems 
cross.  It is also true whether I invoke the compiler via gcc (with
-xassembly) or invoke e.g. m68k-elf-as directly.

It rejects a simple equ like the following:

   Fred .equ 2

If invoked via gcc it also rejects register names in e.g.

  move.l d0,d1

I saw an Email that suggested you need to have a set of defines like
#define d0 (0) which
was a little scary.  Any idea what's going on?
					Regards,
						Bruce A.


By the way, I always used to use ";" for comments in 68000 assembly where
does the idea of using "|"
instead for 68000 come from (in the gcc/as manual)?  I've never heard of
such a bizarre syntax.  I fear I will 
need to hack my binutils somewhere (where?) to enable the more familiar
form.
