Hi,
Brief background...I am not a trained C programmer but am the poor soul left to update legacy C programs. One particular program requires use of BTRV API (instead of Scaleable SQL API) due to an impending upgrade to Btrieve 8. The C compiler is Microsoft version 6.00A and the Linker is version 5.10.
??? My first problem is understanding the correct syntax for linking two objects?
The procedure I use is to open a DOS window, run a batch file that sets up the path, includes, etc. and then run a batch file that does the compile and link.
Firstly, I compile btrapi.c (compile only) to create btrapi.obj using this:
cl -c /AM /Zp /Od btrapi.c
This works fine, as far as I can tell, apart from three name truncation warning messages.
Then I compile and link the application program. Originally, when just one object, I used this supplied batch file :
cl -c /AM /Zp /Od xxxxxx.c
link xxxxxx.obj, xxxxxx.exe,, xqlintf.lib, /ST:10240 /NOE
[Note, I have masked the application name].
>>> Now, with the additional object, I have tried variations such as
cl -c /AM /Zp /Od icrsex1a.c
link xxxxxx.obj, btrapi.obj, xxxxxx.exe,, xqlintf.lib, /ST:10240 /NOE
or
cl -c /AM /Zp /Od icrsex1a.c
link xxxxxx.obj btrapi.obj, xxxxxx.exe,, xqlintf.lib, /ST:10240 /NOE
but
get errors. I'll post the errors later, once I know and have tried the correct link method.
Many Thanks....
