Where to install NASM, when building VCV-Recorder?

Development

Hi,

i am trying to build VCV-Recorder from source.

I downloaded NASM and installed it, the default installation went into the c:/users/…/AppData/local/bin/NASM

MSYS is reporting this problem:

Found no assembler
Minimum version is nasm-2.13
If you really want to compile without asm, configure with --disable-asm.
make: *** [Makefile:109: dep/lib/libx264.a] Error 1

Is there a specific location where i should install nasm?

edit: OS Win 10/64 / MSYS2 64

I have only built this on a mac but I am assuming NASM needs to be on your PATH in windows.

pacman -Su nasm

This did work.

But thanks both of you!

However now i am getting a different error:

cd ffmpeg && PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/d/PRGMZ/UTILZ/RackSDK/plugins/VCV-Recorder/dep/lib/pkgconfig" ./configure --prefix="/d/PRGMZ/UTILZ/RackSDK/plugins/VCV-Recorder/dep" --enable-pic --enable-gpl \

Probably the ffmpeg submodule isn’t initialized. Run git submodule update --init --recursive. See https://vcvrack.com/manual/Building#building-rack-plugins
