The instructions / tutorials are VERY vague and leave a lot of interpretation up to the reader.  I'm not even 100% sure I'm using the right versions as there is no documentation on which dependency version(s) have been confirmed to work together.  I've posted a few snippets of the build window below.  I've struggled to get even this far, but now that it's to the point of failing with syntax errors in assembly language, I'm bailing out and need help at this point.

I can't reproduce this either with nasm or with ml64. However I have added a 'no_asm' configuration option.
