PRB: Dynamic Memory Exhausted Using WATCOM C Linker in FoxPro

Last reviewed: October 26, 1994
Article ID: Q89882

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro Library Construction Kit for MS-DOS, version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

If you are using the WATCOM C Linker in FoxPro version 2.0, a "Dynamic memory exhausted" error occurs.

CAUSE

The amount of available conventional memory is too low. The WATCOM Linker (WLINK8.EXE) uses only conventional memory.

RESOLUTION

If the CONFIG.FP file contains the DOSMEM=ON statement, edit the file to remove the statement. If the CONFIG.FP statement does not contain a DOSMEM statement, edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files to remove unnecessary device drivers and memory-resident applications in order to maximize available conventional memory.

MORE INFORMATION

The WATCOM Linker is one of the tools in the FoxPro Distribution Kit used to create a stand-alone application.
