I am porting a Software from compiler version 7.21 to the actual version
8.45
I used in the past compiler Option -mx. In the actual documentation I found,
that this switch is obsolete ?
-m[tsmclvfnrpxz][do][w][u] Select memory model
    32 Bit Models
    f OS/2 2.0 32 bit flat model (not supported)
    n Win32 32 bit flat model (default)
    p Pharlap 32 bit DOS Extender (obsolete)
    x DOSX 32 bit DOS Extender (obsolete)

What does it mean? Is it still working?.

In my application the compiling process will proceed without any errors, but the linker produces the following errors:

OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1

Any idea for me?

Kindest Regards

It is still working. I'm not sure if the extender files are included in the DMC-CD but they can be downloaded from http://www.dosextender.com

You have to add the extender library X32.LIB to the dmc command line or
to the linker:

  dmc -mx Hello.c  X32.LIB

or

  dmc -c -mx Hello.c
  link cx+Hello,Hello,Hello,X32;

Make sure the LIB environment is set correctly or the files cx.obj and X32.LIB are located in the standard library directory.

Thank you,

I forgot to put cx.obj and x32.lib into the Linklist.
It works with the following Linklist.:

cx.obj+
File1.OBJ+
File2.OBJ+
x32.lib
