I am trying to compile this but get a slight problem with the hello:   db
'Hello, world!'  line.

I can't seem to find an example of how the gcc compiler handles this part of
assembly

#include <stdio.h>

void drawline(int x1,int x2, int y, char color);


int main()
{
  drawline(23,34,56,12);
  }

void hello() {
    asm ("movb  %ah,ox09;
        movb     %dx,$hello;
        intb     0x21;
        movb     5ax,0x4c00;
        intb     0x20;"

 hello:   db    'Hello, world!' )
 }


void drawline(int x1,int x2, int y, char color)
{
  asm (" movb %ax , 0xa000");
}

Anyone help me out please?
