With this command line:

#    C:\dm\bin\lib.exe -c unicode_4_0_1 @unicode_release_link_files.txt

Okay, so apparently Walter said:

>The pagesize is an unfortunate artifact of the ancient lib file format. Just set it to a large size and leave it at that.

But he didn't say HOW to do this.

Again, /HOW/ can I fix it? How - exactly - do I change the "page size" (whatever that is) from 16 to something else. Command line parameters? Magic wand?

The Unicode project is dead in the water unless someone can tell me how I can make the library without getting that error.

Thanks in advance
Jill

No idea what the page size is, but lib -h says:
-pnnn   set page size to nnn (a power of 2)
So i guess you just try -p64, -p128 untill something works :-\

From the lib manual at www.digitalmars.com/ctg/lib.html:

-pnnn
Set page size to nnn (a power of 2).

Try 256.

Phew. Thank you very much Walter, and everybody else who answered.

This project is slow work, but I've actually built a unicode library now! But alas I did it by hand, so the next stage will be to tweak the codebuilder to generate the instructions which build the library so the whole thing can go automated. Once THAT's done I can release the whole damn lot including the codebuilder, a prebuilt library and fast-linking D header files, and then at last we'll have some usable Unicode.

I know Hauke wants to look at the codebuilder and maybe tweak it a bit. Also, I'll need a volunteer (hands up anybody) to tweak the final stage of the codebuilder, because I can only persuade it to build for Windows. I'll need the help of a Linux guru to make the Linux version.

But I've written enough code for today. I'm going to stop for now. It can all wait until tomorrow.
