Re: Recommended assembler for NES development beginner [POLL
For those who want to mess about with it, I easily compiled cc65 in the Ubuntu-on-windows setup that the Windows 10 Insider Preview (yuck) allowed me to use. I also had no trouble using the binaries I had built for my main Debian system. Obviously these aren't steps for beginners, but it did make the same makefile work on both operating systems (sort of) without any changes.

A more direct method is to just compile it with MinGW and the MSYS shell, which produces regular Windows executables. I think cc65 will just build on anything that has GCC and Make.mikejmoffitt wrote:but it did make the same makefile work on both operating systems (sort of) without any changes.
A beginner on Windows is just going to grab some pre-compiled executables though and those are easy to find for whatever assembler they choose.
