I’m starting to work with assembler language, and I wanted to know if there is a good compiler or environment for openSUSE to begin programming. I used to work on Windows, but I somewhat got a bit tired of it and now I have been using Linux for quite a while since then.
Well it’s just that I’m novice and I thought assembler also had and needed its compiler, like C++, Java, etc, in order to write the programs in a text editor and be able to compile.
But now that you mention it, what IDE’s are there?
the gnu compiler and toolchain comes with /usr/bin/as (ie. the gnu assembler). there is also nasm and others. have a look here: Linux Assembly HOWTO the page isn’t suse specific, but has decent information on assembly in linux.
as for ide’s… well there are those for C that probably handle inline assembly in your C code like Eclipse C/C++… but straight assembly? i don’t know of any off the top of my head. these are just ideas, as i don’t do much ide work (i’m a vi guy).
Thank you all for your help, I feel I’m learning a bit again…
So is ScITE a text editor that supports compiling? But mainly, if I have an assembler program wrote in a common or default text editor (e.g. Gedit in my case), is there a way to compile, run and generate executable, just like the C++ and Java cases?

If it’s just “assembly language” in general, then you could do worse
than to look at MIX, MIXAL and MDK
