In order to do the compilation, Anjuta needs the name of the objects 
file, or more exactly its extension. This is hardcoded inside Anjuta. 
it's not working with assembler file. It's quite easy to add but you 
will need to use the version from svn.

Else, you can use the build menu item. This will run only make in the 
source directory. Anjuta doesn't need to make any guess here so if you 
have a valid makefile it will work.

Yes,

I think that autotools provide no support for NASM. so you could use 
simple Makefile. It should be a bit easier to set up.

You have to write a file name Makefile in your source directory and 
write in it all necessary rules to use nasm. Anjuta support for custom 
makefile project is very limited, so you will have to modify it with the 
text editor.
