From: Greg Vilardi Subject: More detail needed about FAQ. To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Date: Thu, 16 Feb 1995 18:01:56 -0500 (EST) Hi, everyone. I'm very new here, and normally I'd just lurk in the corner for a while to get the hang of things here, but I have a very frustrating situation on my hands. I am looking for a way to produce a demonstration version of a large application that my company produces. The demo needs to run on our salesman's DOS-based laptop. I have the SCO Unix (3.2v4.2l) source code for the entire application, including our third-party database management library. The problem is that neither the DOS nor SCO versions of the source code for the database manager will compile under djgpp. The DOS version will compile under MSC6.00 without any problems. I hope that this is enough background and that you're all still with me. ;-) Now, the problem is that I don't understand how to convert the .obj files to COFF files. The copy of DJGPP.FAQ (Section 17: line ~1560) that I have mentions something about using the Librarian from MSC version 8(==Visual C/C++ 1.0 ???) to do the conversion. I own MSC7 and Visual C/C++ 1.0, and I can't discover what black magic I need to invoke to cause this change to occur. If anyone can give me an idea of where to find this information, or how to do it, I will be extremely grateful. (I have RTFM on all of the MSC stuff I have, all 60 pounds of documentation, and tried archie and veronica for other info.) Once Again, any help that you can give me will be greatly appreciated. I will gladly summarize any private e-mail I get on the subject, if there is interest, and I will be following the list religiously. Thank you. -Greg Vilardi -- Greg Vilardi, Host: Scanner Cinema SouthEast E-mail:vilardi AT panix DOT com USnail: 87-B W.
