Thanks to an amazing CMU site license, I am now able to use MPW and
MPW C, maybe. My problem is this: just after I installed MPW C, I
decided to build the included Sample program, as recommended on p. 14 of the
MPW C docs. (I am using the makefile supplied with the compiler.)
Everything starts fine, the file compiles, the linker starts linking,
and then--nothing. The beachball stops spinning, disk activity halts,
and it would seemt that the linker has stopped linking. After 5 or so
minutes of this, I aborted with command-period. The relevent output
looks like this:
# 5:16:24 PM ----- Build of sample.
# 5:16:24 PM ----- Analyzing dependencies.
# 5:16:28 PM ----- Executing build commands.
C Sample.c -o Sample.c.o -r
Link -o Sample Sample.c.o
"Kumquat:MPW:Libraries:CLibraries:"CRuntime.o
"Kumquat:MPW:Libraries:CLibraries:"CInterface.o
"Kumquat:MPW:Libraries:Libraries:"Interface.o
[Note: I edited the above four lines for readability here.]
After I hit command-period, this appears.
### Link: Resource not found (OS error -192)
### Link: Error: Resource I/O error, # (Error 6) setting resource attributes.
### Link: Errors prevented normal completion.
### MPW Shell - Execution of sample.makeout terminated.
### MPW Shell - Execution of BuildProgram terminated.
This also happens when I try to build the example MPW tool "Count" and
the example program "TESample".
Unfortunately, I can't find any information in either the shell or
compiler docs that tell me anything useful about this error, or even
what I might try.
I *did* make sure that all the library files are where they should be,
and they do in fact seem to be there. The exact same thing happens
running under either Uni- or Multi-finder on my MacIIcx with 2 megs of memory,
running system 6.0.5 with no weird inits. The version of both MPW and
the compiler is 3.1. The docs are version 3.0.
Any help would be appreciated; I expect this problem isn't very
interesting to most so e-mail may be appropriate, although I am now reading
this group and will summarize here if I get any useful information.
Thanks,
