If you are using NASM, the command-line is just

nasm -felf32 -g -Fdwarf file.asm -o file.o

where 'file.asm' is your assembly file (code) and 'file.o' is an object file you can link with gcc -m32 or ld -melf_i386. (Assembling with nasm -felf64 will make a 64-bit object file, but the hello world example below uses 32-bit system calls, and won't work in a PIE executable.)

Here is some more info:

You can install NASM in Ubuntu with the following command:

apt-get install nasm

Here is a basic Hello World in Linux assembly to whet your appetite:
