DOS ain't dead

HX question about link.exe (DOSX)

posted by mr, 26.07.2008, 13:39

My Visual Studio version is 2005. The included link.exe is version 8. For compiling the DJGPP HX development example I need to get link.exe to work under HX and that's where I am struggling.

Under FreeDOS did copy the single link.exe to C:\programs\link\link.exe, started hdpmi32 and pestub link.exe. Step by step I wanted to start link.exe over and over again to read the error messages which file is still missing and copying the needed file also into C:\programs\link\, but I think this manual way is very time consuming and circumstantially, is it?

After copying msvcr80.dll and msvcrt.dll to C:\programs\link\ I am getting an error now.
dpmild32: import not found: MoveFileExW
dpmild32: file KERNEL32.dll
dpmild32: C:\FDOS\bin\dadvapi.dll: cannot resolve imports

Currently I have no idea how to get link.exe to work under DOS. On http://www.unet.univie.ac.at/~a0503736/php/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.HX-DOS-lists is also only listed link.exe version 5.12, 7.00 and 7.10 as compatible, maybe it's not updated or maybe link version 8 is no longer compatible.

Please tell me how to resolve this dll decencies a bit more elegant or which version of link.exe is only known to work.
