Looking for a setup to develop m68k assembly programs with.

One of my college courses will be going through the Motorola 68000 assembly, and I'm struggling to find any means of assembling m68k programs and testing them.
I've already installed the following packages: cross-m68k-aout-binutils cross-m68k-aout-gcc
However, when I try installing libvm68k, the download request stalls and then simply times out. As for qemu-m68k, the build wont complete because of a missing x86_64.ld file.
Can anyone please give me indications?

I have not used it, but coldfire, in AUR is another motorola emulator.  It builds and runs fine - though I'm not sure if it will emulate the 64k, but it does seem to have relatively simple configuration files for different processors, so perhaps writing a 64k config would be doable.

You could try vasm: http://bus-error.nokturnal.pl/tiki-read … rticleId=4
As for testing, possibly with the e-uae emulator and a copy of AmigaOS 2 or 3…
