[comp.lang.c++] Linking Zortech C++ with Microsoft Libraries

850181f@aucs.uucp (S. Ferguson-Parker) (01/12/90)

  I am using Ver. 1.07 of the compiler (I have sent in the upgrade for
  Ver. 2.0 but I guess the mail is slow way up here in the north. :-)).

  I need to link an object file compiled with Zortech C++ to a library
  built with Microsoft C (or Turbo C).  I can not seem to do it.  
  
  Does anyone have any ideas?

  Also, I have heard rumours that Ver. 2.0 is much better in this regard;
  is this true?

  One last question, is there any problems with interfacing assembly to the
  compiler?  I have to do this *after* resolving the first problem.

Please be more specific.

It depends. There is documentation with 2.0 that describes the most common
trouble spots and how to deal with them.

Since half the library is in assembler, I can't imagine why there'd be
any problem in this regard.

I recommend that you call the vendor of your library and request a Zortech
version, that should save you a lot of trouble.
