Hi,

today I've downloaded DM ?ompiler and I'm trying to compile MFC CVS 4.21. I use smake -f nafxcw.mak and I get the following error:.









SC -cpp -Ae -Ar -mn -o+time -NL -5 -a8 -Nc -c -H -HDNW -HO- -wx -w- -w3 -w6
-w7 -w11 -w12 -w17 -D_X86_ -D_MT -D_MBCS=1 -I..\..\..\include -oNW\olemon.ob
j ..\olemon.cpp
Internal error: cgobj 3034
--- errorlevel 1
SMAKE fatal error: command "SC" returned with error code 1 Stopping.

Where is the problem?
Please help,
Oxy

hm now I've downloaded mfc from /Digital_Mars_C++/MS/CVS/HEAD and there was mfc library already, so I tried to build one of my simplest mfc app. I used other libs from MS Platform SDK, this is what i get:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Lib\winspool.lib
 Error 43: Not a Valid Library File

Does DMC++ support any librarys from MS Platform SDK, what should I do?

See the c++ newsgroup. Phill had the same problem which Walter already solved. But I don't know whether or not the fix made it into the lastest available compiler.

Try downloading the 8.27 beta and try it. -Walter

Microsoft libraries are in COFF format, not OMF, and so need to be converted with COFF2OMF. -Walter

I tried. Nothing's changed.
I tried to use COFF2OMF but it converts winspool.lib to a small empty file
(no declarations really), then compiler links it but of course finds
unresolved symbols... I even tried to use borland's coff2omf utility wich
seems to convert libs correctly, but then linker outputs this error again:
Error 43: Not a Valid Library File

Is there any way to use winspool.lib and shell32.lib with digital mars?

Thanks.

AFAIK, Microsoft has changed the COFF format for import libraries with Visual C++ 6.0. You have to convert the import libraries with Microsoft's link (link /lib /convert x.lib) to the old format and then you can use DM's coff2omf.

Thnx, for a great reply. Now I can link, but when I execute my application I get an error that winspool.dll is not found, and it's true: there's only winspool.drv. What should I do?

Try renaming winspool.drv to winspool.dll. Alternatively, patch your exe file changing winspool.dll to winspool.drv.

Thanks, I'll update the coff2omf documentation.
