Summary:

PROBLEM ID: QCW9112002

SYMPTOMS

In the Microsoft QuickC for Windows (QC/Win) version 1.0

development environment, if link options that require a :number

(such as /CP, /PADC, /PADD, and /SE) are specified incorrectly on

the Custom Options box, other link options can change. In

particular, Ignore Case is often unchecked, causing the linker to

generate the errors L2022 and/or L2029. The /A, /M, or /ST option

may also appear in the Custom Options box instead of where it is

usually set.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QC/Win version 1.0.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here

as it becomes available.

More Information:

Options that require a :number should not have any white space

separating the switch name from the colon or the colon from the

number. For example:

1. Choose Project from the Options menu, then select the Linker

button.

2. Initially ensure that Ignore Case is checked in the Global Options.

3. Choose the Option button and set Custom Options to the following:

/SEGMENTS :256

When building, error L1008 occurs. Going back to the link options,

Ignore Case is unchecked, and Custom Options is:

/SEGMENTS

Other changes may occur when attempting to correct the switch.
