asl (portable macro cross assembler) ASL is a portable macro cross assembler for a variety of microprocessors and microcontrollers. Though it is mainly targeted at embedded processors and single-board computers, there are also CPU families in the target list that are used in workstations and PCs. For a full list of targets, see: http://john.ccac.rwth-aachen.de:8000/as/as_EN.html#sect_1_2_ Note: The source downloaded is a snapshot. There hasn't been an ASL release since 1999, although development snapshots are still released every month or so. Build option: TESTS=no - Don't run ASL's test suite. This should only be used on slow systems to save building time.
