Compilation errors with command 'make'

[simonjpaulger@…]

Upon running make, i get the following error message:

/usr/bin/perl ./modules/preprocs/nasm/macros.pl ./modules/preprocs/nasm/standard.mac
./modules/preprocs/nasm/standard.mac:6:  error unterminated quote at
./modules/preprocs/nasm/macros.pl line 40, <INPUT> line 6.
make: *** [nasm-macros.c] Error 255

Running make again, i get a different error:

Sorry to submit a bug report if its my fault. I have no idea what all the above
means but it looks important enough to report.
If you'd like more info do not hesitate to contact me.

I currently use NASM and want the AMD64 support. Yasm sounds very promising,
nice one!

The first error indicates that the macros.pl script couldn't parse standard.mac
for some reason; however, due to an unrelated bug, it doesn't delete the output
files on an error, which is why the compilation is different a second time.

To help me debug this, could you send me (or preferably attach to the bugzilla
bug) the modules/preprocs/nasm/standard.mac and modules/preprocs/nasm/macros.pl
files, and also the output of "/usr/bin/perl -v"?

Thanks for the bug report.  I'm going to go ahead and fix the macros.pl script
to delete the output file on an error.

The Perl script has been converted to C (committed to CVS today), which should
resolve this issue.
