How to develop with both Assembly and C/C++ on FASM?

Question

So, I am developing an OS and for now I've been only writing code in assembly. I wish to continue making it with C/C++. The compiler/editor I use is FASM (for Windows). I've tried using MinGW with it, but it gives error when linking fasm's .o file. How can I continue developing with both Assembly and C/C++? Also, I've searched on the Internet a lot, but I didn't find a solution.

Edit: this is the make batch file i'm using:

cls
echo off

fasm.exe los.asm losasm.o
pause
cls
"C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe" -nostdlib  los.cpp -o loscpp.o
pause
cls
"C:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe" -o "C:\Users\helder\Desktop\Lemperyum OperativeSystem I\los" -o -nostdlib losasm.o loscpp.o
pause
cls

pause

Aside: Any reason you're not using `make` or something like it for builds? (GNU Make is available as part of mingw, probably already installed.) — , Jul 06 '14 at 05:21

FASM is biased toward generating executable files directly as its output, the default being "flat binary output" (see manual). To create object files, you have to use one of the command line options

format COFF or
format ELF

Which you choose depends on the other tools. Offhand, I am not sure what type of file MinGW outputs.
