# ASM<DIALECT>

New in version 3.10.

This is a CMake Environment Variable. Its initial value is taken from the calling process environment.

Preferred executable for compiling a specific dialect of assembly language files. `ASM<DIALECT>` can be `ASM`, `ASM_NASM` (Netwide Assembler), `ASM_MASM` (Microsoft Assembler) or `ASM-ATT` (Assembler AT&T). Will only be used by CMake on the first configuration to determine `ASM<DIALECT>` compiler, after which the value for `ASM<DIALECT>` is stored in the cache as `CMAKE_ASM<DIALECT>_COMPILER`. For subsequent configuration runs, the environment variable will be ignored in favor of `CMAKE_ASM<DIALECT>_COMPILER`.

Note

Options that are required to make the compiler work correctly can be included; they can not be changed.

    $ export ASM="custom-compiler --arg1 --arg2"
