No, its not a problem of complexity. I have described the problem(s) to you
in quite some detail after hours of testing, including producing simple test
files which should have told you that there is an issue here. None of your
suggested solutions had any bearing on the problems I described. Id like to
give it a last try:
Two test files and a link file:
* QMAKE test file 1: ram1_abc_asm
section code
xdef abc
*
abc
rts
*
end
* QMAKE test file 2: ram1_def_asm
section code
xref abc
*
def
bsr abc
rts
*
end
* QMAKE test link file: ram1_test_link
program ram1_test_bin
input ram1_abc_rel
input ram1_def_rel
Qmake V4.21, configured identically to my V1.35 (where possible):
# Linker type = GST/Quanta
# Assembler control = Errors
# Linker control = nothing
# Nowinds = yes
# Keep warnings = yes
# Filter warnings ($5A & $59) = yes
# Name of assembler Thing = qmac
# Assembler name = win2_asm_qmac
# GST linker name = win2_asm_qlink
# Qjump linker name =
# File extension for Qmake command file =
# Make-index name =
# Beep = yes
# Assembler source file extension = _asm
# Relocatable object file extension = _rel
# More than one Qmake = yes
Substitutions etc, as for V1.35. Not relevant for this test, I assume.
Loading the link file into Qmake V4.21 I get:
Error: ram1_abc_asm not found.
Now, you can bet your bottom euro that that file DOES exist! There is no
explanation as to whats going on, no log file and no other error message.
I tried lots of things, though that is not really my job, like trying
various configurations of the program. Heres an example:
# Relocatable object file extension = <nothing>
When running the program now I get and empty binary file:
ram1_TEST_BIN
and the following log file (ram1_TEST_BIN_LOG):
Quanta V1.01 GST Computer Systems Limited 14:08 Saturday 17/08/02

Thats it. You can find further details and other issues mentioned in my
mails to you dated 10/06/98 and 05/06/01. The problem started when I
"upgraded" my version 2.something to version 2.something else or 3.xx, and
has persisted right up to V4.21, and it appears, V4.24 also. V1.35 works ok,
but is missing some desirable features that are also required to assemble
smsq.
I should very much like to know how many others have experienced the same
problem and whether they ever reported it.
Looking very much forward to some answers.
