Introduction to yasm
Yasm is a complete rewrite of the NASM-2.16.01 assembler. It supports the x86 and AMD64 instruction sets, accepts NASM and GAS assembler syntaxes and outputs binary, ELF32 and ELF64 object formats.
Note
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.

yasm Dependencies
Optional
Python-2.7.18 and cython-0.29.36
Installation of yasm
Install yasm by running the following commands:
sed -i 's#) ytasm.*#)#' Makefile.in &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make
To test the results, issue: make -j1 check.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
Command Explanations
sed -i 's#) ytasm.*#)#' Makefile.in: This sed prevents it compiling 2 programs (vsyasm and ytasm) that are only of use on Microsoft Windows.
