Mach-O 64-bit format does not support 32-bit absolute addresses. NASM [duplicate]

Answer 1

Mac OS X, like other UNIX/POSIX systems, uses a different calling convention for 64-bit code. Instead of pushing all the arguments to the stack, it uses RDI, RSI, RDX, RCX, R8, and R9 for the first 6 arguments. So instead of using push msg, you'll need to use something like mov RDI, msg.

Answer 2

Besides what Drew McGowen points out, rax needs to be zeroed (no vector parameters).

But -f win64 or -f elf64 will work on this code. I suspect a bug in -f macho64 (but I'm not sure what macho64 is "supposed" to do). Until this gets fixed(?), the workaround is to use default rel or mov rdi, rel msg. I "think" that'll work for ya.
