crystal build --no-debug --verbose --emit asm,obj hello.cr

But when i try
gcc hello.s
or
clang hello.s
i receive error i.e. the .asm is not understood ?

Try as hello.s. It’s been a while since I’ve used gcc or clang directly, but I don’t believe they’re assemblers, but as is.

Using as produces same errors i.e. assembly not understood.
Version : as -v
GNU assembler version 2.37 (x86_64-portbld-freebsd13.0) using BFD version (GNU Binutils) 2.37

Please share what the error message says.
