The assembler that comes with gputil should be compatible with mpasm stuff, I think. There is no apparent free (as in source) compiler for linux so compatibility with the compiler is a problem we'd like to have.
Or, if you use the shareware compiler from
http://www.picant.com/c2c/c.html , compatibility is a problem you already have.
Anyone wanna try using WINE? (I'll run it through wine once we get the edu-rc kit and software)
