I have recently been working on a C program to get the directory on any disk
drive. Well, I used an example which was originally compiled with Manx 3.2a.
When I try to compile this program after making some minor changes I got a
strange linking error which I do not understand. The program compiled without
and warnings or errors. During the 2ND pass of the linker(BLINK 7.2) I got
this error:
Error 504: UNKNOWN symbol - Distance for Data Reloc16 > 32768
First Reference in unit mydir.o at offset 00000010 in file 'ram:mydir.o'
To Unit mydir.o at offset 00000010 in file 'ram:mydir.o'
This occured if I used my own WITH file during the linking process or I let
the lc program link for me using the -L option. If anyone could give me a
clue to how I can figure out what the error is (and what it means) or just
tell me how to solve my problem. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance,

Contrary to what the manual says at first, it automatically turns on base- and pc-relative addressing. Try turning either or both off with -b0 and -r0, and it should link properly. This was just a documentation error that got overlooked. nj
