Hi all,

I am getting started with haiku and while trying to build the sources, I
follow the
instructions here :

https://www.haiku-os.org/guides/building/configure

(1) I am trying to execute "./configure" from within "haiku" folder
(2) I am on a haiku vm (vm running on VmWare fusion)
(3) Version of os : R1 / alpha 4.1
(4) Error I received : ./configure: line 671: nasm: command not found
                                nasm cannot generate ELF files.Please
install a working version.
(5) As per the documentation, since my building platform was haiku, I was
under the impression
     that I do not need to install anything else (NASM was a pre-requisite)
(6) What steps do I have to follow to install nasm in haiku ? (if this is
already in the documentation
      please point me to the link, sorry for wasting your time).


-Sab
