[net.micro.mac] help needed with Softworks C Compiler

mac@eisx.UUCP (James McParland) (03/13/85)

I am posting this for a friend; please send all responses via
electronic mail, not the net.

	I have a 128K Mac with one disk drive. I bought the Softworks
	C compiler.  I have been having problems with setting up a
	programming environment, and to this date I have been unable
	to complete the compilation of any program.

	I have a C BOOT DISK which contains the editor, the C
	COMPILER, and my source file (let's call it hello.c).  When
	I run the C COMPILER, it does create a hello.asm file.

	I have a C WORK DISK which contains the ASSEMBLER and
	LINKER.  When I run the ASSEMBLER it does create a 
	hello.REL file.  I then create (with the editor) a hello.link
	file which specifies that I want to link the relocatable modules
	for hello and cclib.

	I have been unable to LINK the modules that I have created.	
	The LINKER always fails to find either hello.REL, cclib.REL,
	or the hello.link file.

	Where should I place these files?  Should they be on the 
	C BOOT DISK or the C WORK DISK?  Or both?  Is there any way 
	I can organize the utilities on the disks to reduce the amount
	of disk swapping I have to do?  Is there any way to set up
	a command file which would take a program through the compiler,
	assembler, and linker automatically?  Is there any way to create
	a .link file automatically?

	I would appreciate any help you can offer me...  the
	people at Softworks have been totally useless.
