LINK: warning L4501: bcl71efp.lib : cannot find lib (DONE)

Never seen this warning before and I can't compile my program...
After pressing enter for new specs, I get several L2029 errors and then link comes up with:
LINK : warning L4038: program has no starting address.

I use a batch-file to compile the program:

Code: Select all

@echo ff

del *.obj

del testrun.exe

bc /o /Ot /Fs /G2 /Fpi /E /X boot\bootsect.bas;

ren bootsect.obj a.obj

link a,,nul,lib\qbx.lib;

ren a.exe testrun.exe

del *.obj

Somebody got a clue? I've also tried replacing the qbx.lib in the batch-file with bcl17efr.lib but I come up with the same problem.

Quite simple...you're missing bcl71efp.lib. Reinstall it again and make sure to install all the libraries you need:

Bcl71afp.lib. Pds. Combined library for stand-alone executable files using alternate mathematics, far-strings and protected mode.

Bcl71afr.lib. Pds. Combined library for stand-alone executable files using alternate mathematics, far-strings and real mode.

Bcl71anp.lib. Pds. Combined library for stand-alone executable files using alternate mathematics, near-strings and protected mode.

Bcl71anr.lib. Pds. Combined library for stand-alone executable files using alternate mathematics, near-strings and real mode.

Bcl71efp.lib. Pds. Combined library for stand-alone executable files using 80x87 or emulator mathematics, far-strings and protected mode.

Bcl71efr.lib. Pds. Combined library for stand-alone executable files using 80x87 or emulator mathematics, far-strings and real mode.

Bcl71enp.lib. Pds. Combined library for stand-alone executable files using 80x87 or emulator mathematics, near-strings and protected mode.

Bcl71enr.lib. Pds. Combined library for stand-alone executable files using 80x87 or emulator mathematics, near-strings and real mode.

I have reinstalled the whole bunch and still end up with the missing lib's. Any idea how to fix this?

You must have an incomplete copy then. Here are all of the above libraries:

(Copy them to your lib directory.)

Now it's asking for OS2.lib... but I'm using DOS... I can get my hands on the lib but still... OS2?

Grtz

If you are using protected mode (/Lp) PDS only supports OS/2. There is no protected-mode DOS support in PDS.
