I'm using PCSpim and it doesn't seem to support labels with f and b on the end. Can anyone help me with this.

    If it doesn't support those, use normal labels. – Jester Mar 14 '15 at 19:12
  • I'm making a compiler which target code is mips assemly. I need this feature so that my compiler won't have to generate so many labels for different control structures. – rexwynnohay Mar 14 '15 at 19:18

    How about you use gnu assembler not spim, then. – Jester Mar 14 '15 at 19:18
  • I tried to do that but I can't produce correct results. I am using windows and i have MinGW on my computer. Can I use the gcc of MinGW. If yes, what specific command should I enter in the command-line. Tnx! – rexwynnohay Mar 14 '15 at 19:24
  • mingw is for x86, you need the gnu toolchain targeting mips. No idea if there is a windows build of that. – Jester Mar 14 '15 at 19:45

    Building the GNU binutils for MIPS on a Windows machine isn't all that difficult or time-consuming. Install Cygwin, then download and unpack the binutils source code, configure with something like `./configure --target=mips-elf --prefix=/usr/local/mips-elf --disable-multilib --disable-nls --disable-shared --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld`, and then `make` – Michael Mar 14 '15 at 20:39
  • @Michael - I tried to do what you suggested but cygwin says "./configure: no such file or directory" – rexwynnohay Mar 15 '15 at 02:51
  • Well, you have to `cd` into the binutils source directory first. – Michael Mar 15 '15 at 06:58
