The [nasm_add_deps topic](!5868) introduced generation of GCC-compatible depfiles by the NASM assembler. Unfortunately it closed the door for YASM assembler support because yasm does not support the `-MD` and `-MT` arguments. The following testcase reproduces the problem: ```cmake cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.20 FATAL_ERROR) project(testcase NONE) find_program(NASM_EXECUTABLE yasm) set(CMAKE_ASM_NASM_COMPILER ${NASM_EXECUTABLE}) enable_language(ASM_NASM) add_library(foo foo.asm) ``` Building results in an error: ``` ninja -v [1/2] /opt/homebrew/bin/yasm -MD CMakeFiles/foo.dir/foo.asm.o.d -MT CMakeFiles/foo.dir/foo.asm.o -f macho -o CMakeFiles/foo.dir/foo.asm.o /Users/gregorj/src/cmake-issue-yarn/foo.asm yasm: warning: can open only one input file, only the last file will be processed yasm: warning: can open only one input file, only the last file will be processed CMakeFiles/foo.dir/foo.asm.o: /Users/gregorj/src/cmake-issue-yarn/foo.asm [2/2] : && /usr/bin/ar cr libfoo.a CMakeFiles/foo.dir/foo.asm.o && /usr/bin/ranlib libfoo.a && : FAILED: libfoo.a : && /usr/bin/ar cr libfoo.a CMakeFiles/foo.dir/foo.asm.o && /usr/bin/ranlib libfoo.a && : ar: CMakeFiles/foo.dir/foo.asm.o: No such file or directory ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. ``` Thanks, Gregor
