getting error message "command not found" when trying to execute FASM on Ubuntu WSL. Apparently there are many things that can cause this message in Ubuntu
help ...
Code: Select all
dd@DESKTOP-7ADGKLL:/mnt/c/fasmw-zx/LINUX$ FASM
FASM: command not found
FASM is an ELF executable, so I think it should execute
Code: Select all
dd@DESKTOP-7ADGKLL:/mnt/c/fasmw-zx/LINUX$ file FASM
FASM: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (GNU/Linux), statically linked, no section header
As you can see from that message, FASM does exist in the directory. I installed the 32-bit support but the message does not change. Install first libc6, with no change, then libc6-i386
This executable FASM is from PokeMon:

On Ubuntu, for executables that aren't installed in the system path, you have to explicitly state which directory the executable is in. For example, if you're in the same folder as the executable, you type:
where "./" means "this directory".
Remember also that Ubuntu is case-sensitive, unlike Windows where you are free to mix capital letters and lowercase letters, so you must type in the program name exactly as it is on disk.
This is something that has tripped a lot of people up (including myself
) when they have tried moving from Windows to Linux.

Thank you
That solved the getting-started-with-FASM problem
Code: Select all
dd@DESKTOP-7ADGKLL:/mnt/c/fasmw-zx$ FASM
FASM: command not found
dd@DESKTOP-7ADGKLL:/mnt/c/fasmw-zx$ ./FASM
