Resolving C Compiler LINKer Response File Error

ID Number: Q63634

6.00

OS/2

Question:

After reinstalling OS/2 on my machine, I now receive the following

error whenever I try to compile and link any of my Microsoft C Compiler

version 6.00 programs:

error: unable to open response file ""

Response:

OS/2 contains an earlier version of LINK.EXE, and this version of

LINK.EXE may actually be executing instead of the version of the

LINKer provided with Microsoft C Compiler version 6.00.

One solution to this problem may be to modify your path so that the

"C600\binb" subdirectory containing LINK.EXE comes before your OS/2

subdirectory.

Another solution is to rename the LINK.EXE program in the OS/2

subdirectory to something similar to LINK.EX@. Either of these actions

will ensure that the proper version of LINK.EXE is executed.
