Assembly syntax highlighting with Gedit

  • 22
For those who need it, here it is a simple solution to obtain Assembly highlighting code in Gedit (that basic is not supported).
Download this file (asm-intel.lang) on your machine and copy it in the directory:
/usr/share/gtksourceview*.0/language-specs/
That's it!

    You can also put this into ~/.local/share/gtksourceview*.0/language-specs/ if you don't like modifying the system

    Thank you so much for writing this. I am in an x86 assembly class and I wouldn't know where to find this otherwise.

      Simply use sudo, e.g.:
      sudo cp FILE /usr/share/gtksourceview*.0/language-specs/

      I'm new with ubuntu.. I get this error :
      cp: missing destination file operand after `asm-intel.lang/usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs'
      how should I type this command?

      You are using the cp command in the wrong way.
      It's very simple, go in the directory where you downloaded the asm-intel.lang file and type:
      sudo cp asm-intel.lang /usr/share/gtksourceview*.0/language-specs/

      Now, in gedit : tools-->highlight mode , I search this asm /assembly .. I can't find this.
      I reopen the editor. should I do something else to get this updated?

      I wasn't seeing the "asm-intel" highlight option either. Turns out after you copy, you need to set the permissions like the other *.lang files. I executed "sudo chmod a+r asm-intel.lang" in /usr/share/gtksourceview-3.0/language-specs and then I was able to see the asm-intel highlighting for my *.asm file. Thanks!
