-Installing nasm is pretty straightforward on Unix or Unix-like systems
+Installing NASM is pretty straightforward on Unix or Unix-like systems
with Perl and GNU tools installed, including MinGW for Windows with
MSYS installed. Perl is optional for compiling unmodified sources
from a tarball, but is required to build from git or for most source
You can get information about available configuration options by
running `./configure --help`.
-If configure fails, please send bug report with detailed platform
-information to <nasm-bugs@lists.sourceforge.net> and we will try to

======================================================
The recommended compiler for NASM on Windows is MinGW
We recommend MinGW over Visual C++ 2005 as we have found it to be more
up to date with regards to C99 compliance, and we are increasingly
using C99 features in NASM.

+3. Installing NASM from source (DOS-Windows-OS/2/OpenWatcom)
+============================================================
+
+NASM has been reported to build correctly with OpenWatcom 1.7 on and
+OS/2 platform. The NASM developers have not tested this on any other
+platforms.
+
+A WMAKE make file is provided:
+
+> wmake -f Mkfiles\openwcom.mak <platform>
+
+... where <platform> is "dos", "win32" or "os2".
+
+NASM is known to NOT compile correctly using OpenWatcom 1.7.1 as a
+cross compiler with a Linux host (OpenWatcom bug report 751.)
