In attempting to use MSC 6.0, after compiling a program, then trying to link,
under certain circumstances, the linker (Segmented Executable Linker Ver 5.10
that comes with MSC 6.0) blindly attempts to search drive C:
Normally this isn't a problem, except that I have three floppy drives, so my
hard disk starts at D:. I must have a floppy in drive C: to avoid a drive not
ready message, even if it is just a blank formatted one.
If I link a simple application, say the ubiquitious hello.c program, specifying
just the hello.obj module, the executable as hello.exe, no map or def files,
it works OK. If I try to mention a def file with just the name and heapsize
parameters, then it looks on drive C:.
I need to use a def file for most of my application because they are Windows
application and you need a def file.
I have checked my path, there is no reference to drive C: anywhere. The same is
true for the LIB and TMP environment variables.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks.
