Well, what is the origin of the 2.o file? What does

Code:

file 2.o

say?

file 2.o
2.o: data

And why do you think that it is a GNU-toolchain-compatible object file? Where did you get it?

Looks like it is an .o-file in some other object file format not usually seen on POSIX-like computers.

I have written a .asm program and compiled & linked it using SciTE
and i dont know how to run it , i am a newbie in .asm too !!

SciTE? Isn't SciTE just an editor? Maybe it used something incompatible with GCC/GAs/BNU ld

here is .asm properties file ..

Quote:

command.compile.$(file.patterns.asm)=nasm $(FileNameExt)

command.name.0.*.asm=Link
command.0.*.asm=link $(FileName) $(FileName).o

statement.indent.$(file.patterns.asm)=9 .if

I just had read about file formats..and I see there is a object file format called "elf"
so what do you say about it ??
thanks for the above info !!
can you suggest some diff editor for asm ??

Well, I was not saying anything bad or good about SciTE (I am a Vim user, but Vim requires some effort to learn and payback is delayed). I just said that mentioning SciTE doesn't describe the real origin of object file. If I remember correctly, NASM can create different object file formats. ELF is the format used by GNU ld. Maybe NASM can just create static ELF executables on its own, though.
