Installing GNU Assembler in OSX

Question

No matter how hard I google, I can't seem to find a (relatively) easy-to-follow instruction on how to install the GNU Assembler on a mac.

Any pointers would help.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The gnu assembler is already installed on your mac (assuming that you installed the dev tools package). If you want to avoid XCode, you can invoke it from the command line with as, or with the preprocessor by using gcc yourfile.s $(OPTIONS).
