How do you compile assembly code using Visual Studio?
I want to compile and run an assembly source file in Visual Studio 2010.
I've created a Visual C++ project and inserted some assembly code in a file code.asm:
.586              ;Target processor.  Use instructions for Pentium class machines
.MODEL FLAT, C    ;Use the flat memory model. Use C calling conventions
.STACK            ;Define a stack segment of 1KB (Not required for this example)
.DATA             ;Create a near data segment.  Local variables are declared after
                  ;this directive (Not required for this example)
.CODE             ;Indicates the start of a code segment.
clear PROC
   xor eax, eax 
   xor ebx, ebx 
   ret 
clear ENDP 
END
However the problem is when you try and compile this, you get:
LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _mainCRTStartup
I did go and enable the build customization masm.targets (right click project > Build Customizations..), but to no avail.
