One easy way to avoid build problems is by being sure that the software can access all the files necessary to compile the title and build the index. Make sure you have all the RTF files you need to build the title and all the graphic, animation, and audio files you are including in the title. In addition, make sure the following files exist in the correct directories or in a directory in your PATH:
| TITLE.FLD |
The field file for the title. |
| TITLE.STP |
The stop-word file for the title. |
| TITLE.MVP |
The project file for the title. |
| BAG.INI |
A file that specifies the title name and tells the build which index file to use for the title. (This file must have a reference in the [BAGGAGE] section of the project file.) |
| BUILDDOC.BAT |
A batch file used to build the title and create the index. |
| BUILDDOC.CMD |
OS/2 version of BUILDDOC.BAT. |
| FORAGE.EXE |
A program that extracts and decompresses text from a compiled title, and places it in a temporary file. |
| GETMLT.EXE |
Builds internal files required for creating the index file. |
| INDEX.EXE |
A program that reads the scan file and creates a full-text index for the file. It forms an index file that contains the scanned words, along with the offset and occurrence information. It doesn't index words listed in the stop-word file. |
| MAKEFILE |
NMAKE uses this file to direct the build process. |
| NMAKE.EXE |
Called by BUILDDOC, this program runs the makefile and builds the title and its search index. |
| NMAKEP.EXE |
OS/2 version of NMAKE.EXE. |
| MVC.EXE |
The compiler that actually creates the title. |
| MVCP.EXE |
OS/2 version of the compiler. |
| MVC.ERR |
Text of error messages for the compiler. |
| MVCP.ERR |
Version of MVC.ERR used with MVCP.EXE. |
| W_SCAN.EXE |
A program that scans the extracted text and pulls the words to be indexed into a scan file. |
