Ok so i have an existing project that I have been working on since about 2001 and would like to import it in to code::blocks. This is a Linux project that is written in 100% pure assembler and has basically been created using only a console editor (joe because vi makes my teeth itch! } : )
Anyway... I go to file->new->project and select "console application" because thats what it is. I am then presented with a window which lists all the language options for my project. My choices are C and C++. There is nothing in there for angelscript, bash, css, fortran, masm assembly etc etc etc yet all of these are options for the syntax highlighter.
My project is not C and it is not C++ so im basically lost :/
How do i create an ASSEMBLER project?

1. Find a IDE that supports assembly
2. Read the directions to use that IDE.
If you still wish to use C::B read the following

The Code::Blocks webpage says "The open source, cross platform, free C++ IDE.".
That's what it was designed for. Syntax highlighting is one thing but the compiler framework is another. We support a lot of compilers natively already but they are all C/C++ (Fortran as an excuse). If you want to use inline-assembly you can stick with GCC, too. But if you really need a pure assembler like MASM etc. you really either find a pure assembler IDE [I like RadAsm (http://www.oby.ro/rad_asm/) quite a lot but it seems abandoned (the original webpage is not accessible anymore)?!] or you try to implement your own assembler plugin which is probably not as hard as you might think. However, CC and a lot other things might not work.
