I recently got the MS C compiler (version 4.0) and though it
claims to produce executables, I've had no such luck.
As best as I can determine, it seems I must have an assembler to
make the run-time libraries. Is this correct ? If so, I'd sure
say the documentation and packaging is miss-leading ! There is no
way I'm going to purchase an assembler just for this one task .
I have tried to compile the simplist programs but in each case the
linker complains (wrong file type or format, I forgot which). I have
no such problem if the program lacks I/O but that makes for some pretty
useless programs :-^
Must I have an assembler ? If so, do the run-times have to be assembled
on my machine (386sx,AMI BIOS, TOPCAT motherboard) or would a copy of
someone elses work ? If a copy from someone else would work, then what
are the odds of finding a uuencoded version in my email box :-) ?
Please email replies, as I do not monitor this group.
Thank you for any assistance you may be;
