Installing NASM is pretty straightforward on Unix or Unix-like systems

MSYS installed. Perl is optional for compiling unmodified sources

appropriate tools. Perl is not required for compiling unmodified

If you checked out source from git you will need to run autoconf to
generate configure, otherwise you don't have to.
$ autoheader
$ autoconf
$ sh autogen.sh
Then run configure to detect your platform settings and generate makefiles.
$ ./configure
$ sh configure
You can get information about available configuration options by
running `./configure --help`.
running `sh configure --help`.

NASM has been reported to build correctly with OpenWatcom 1.7 on and
OS/2 platform. The NASM developers have not tested this on any other
platforms.
NASM has been reported to build correctly with OpenWatcom 1.7 on the
Windows and OS/2 platforms. In addition, it *should* work under DOS
with the DOS4GW DOS extender, although the NASM developers recommend
using DJGPP with the CWSDPMI DOS extender instead.
A WMAKE make file is provided:
> wmake -f Mkfiles\openwcom.mak <platform>
... where <platform> is "dos", "win32" or "os2".
NASM is known to NOT compile correctly using OpenWatcom 1.7.1 as a
cross compiler with a Linux host (OpenWatcom bug report 751.)
