Compiling and Linking


  o Compiling

    There are no special compiling instructions.

    There are no header files.


  o Linking

    You may compile in Real or Protected Mode.

    Required: Place xErrSys.obj after your main file statement.

    Required: Place ClipX.lib before Clipper.lib in your link script.


  o Examples

    Compile and Link using Blinker REAL mode
    This assumes that Clipper and Blinker are in your path

      Compile - Test.bat

          clipper Test /n /m /w

          if errorlevel 1 goto End
          blinker @Test

          :End

      Link script - Test.lnk

          OUTPUT Test

          file Test

          file your path ...\obj\xErrSys.obj
          lib  your path ...\lib\clipx.lib

          lib  your path ...\clipper5\lib\clipper
          lib  your path ...\clipper5\lib\extend
          lib  your path ...\clipper5\lib\terminal
          # Your rdd
          lib  your path ...\clipper5\lib\dbfntx



    Compile and Link using Blinker PROTECTED mode
    This assumes that Clipper and Blinker are in your path

      Compile - Test.bat

          clipper Test /n /m /w

          if errorlevel 1 goto End
          blinker @Test

          :End


      Link script - Test.lnk

          #
          # This program is linked in Blinker's PROTECTED MODE
          #
          #readonly
          blinker message wink

          blinker executable clipper f:61;swappath:".\tempfile";temppath:".\tempfile"

          output   test

          file     Test

          file   your path ...\obj\xErrSys

          search   your path ...\clipper5\lib\blxclp52  # For Blinker DOS protected mode
