Hi Jim!
thanks for your prompt reply!
Even if I remember I've seen .ERR files in my tests last week, in the
test I've just did any .ERR file has been created, so I cannot send
those to you; last week I've probably used the OW installation from
FDIMPLES while now I'm using the OW via installation disks, but it
should not make any difference. I'll maybe try in the next days to
delete the current OW installation and install back from FDIMPLES.
Nevertheless I've seen something interesting in the tests I've just done
after your email.
For any reason, if I use:
1) "wcl -c prova.c" then "wcl prova.obj" return E3146 "invalid object file"
2) "wcl prova,c" return E3033
3) "wcc prova.c" then "wcl prova.obj" it works fine! I've tried several
times, mixing the test order with 1) and 2) and it always worked! So,
I've tested this combination also with other C files and it works as
well, while "wcl file.c" doesn't.
So, even if it's not clear to me what's wrong with 1) and 2), as soon as
3) seems to work I'll try to use it. You've been so kind, so I don't
want to bother you more; thanks a lot for your help!
Regards,
Davide

Hi Davide!
I copied/pasted exactly what you provided as your sample in your
email. I saved it as davide.c in my D:\TEMP directory, and then
compiled it using OpenWatcom. Using 'wcl -c' means "compile only" and
you can do the same thing with just 'wcc' so that's what I did. It
works fine on my end:
D:\TEMP>wcc davide.c

Your error message includes "directive error near 'ç'" which suggests
there's an extra character in your file somewhere. But that doesn't
make sense, because you said it compiled fine.
Try taking out the "compile only" step and just compile an EXE from
your source. Here's what I did:
First, I cleaned up:
D:\TEMP>del davide.exe
one file removed.
D:\TEMP>del davide.obj
one file removed.
<<<
..then I compiled it all in one step:
D:\TEMP>wcl -q davide.c

You should also have a file named the same as your program, but ending
with an ERR extension. That will have a complete copy of the
OpenWatcom compiler error or errors. Can you share that ERR file here?

Hi all,
I'm new in this mailing list so I apologize if I'm not using it in the
correct way.
I'm reading the "Writing FreeDOS Programs in C" tutorial from FreeDOS
website by I'm stuck in the "Part 8. Console Programming (conio)".
On a brand new FreeDOS installation, whatever I install OpenWatcom from
fdimples or through the OpenWatcom installation program, I cannot
compile even a simple C program because I always get the following error
from the linker:
Error! E3033: file __wcl__.lnk: line(1): directive error near 'ç'
Before using the "wcl" command I've setup the environment with the
proper BAT file as request. If I split the process using first "wcl"
with "-c" option (e.g.: "wcl -c prova.c") I get the OBJ file
("prova.obj") apparently with no error, but when I move ahead with "wcl"
command and the obj file it return that the obj file is not a correct
object file ("wcl prova.obj").
The C code I'm using for testing is very simple, it's just an "hello
world" program that I16GCC has no problem to compile, here it is:
-------------
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("prova");
return 0;
}
-------------
Thanks if anyone has a guess on how to solve this issue.
Best regards,
Davide
