MASM 6.14 Problems...
It's been awhile since I took my assembly class so maybe there's something I'm forgetting. I'm having trouble compiling one of my old projects. I'm 90% sure there's nothing wrong with the code although if necessary I will post it... (it's just really long) Anyway here's what happens.
I type ml rain.asm and I get the following message(s)
Microsoft (R) Macro Assembler Version 6.14.8444
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1981-1997. All Rights Reserved.
Assembling: rain_new.asm
Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 6.00.8168

/z2
"rain_new.obj"
"rain_new.exe"
NUL
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option "z2"; ignored
LINK : error : Segment reference in fixup record
rain_new.obj : fatal error LNK1123: failure during conversion to COFF: file invalid or corrupt
I read a little on this error but frankly I have no idea what it means. o.o Could anyone steer me in the right direction? I'd like to get this running again if I can.

Hi, is the code too lengthy ? If so, zip it and post it in a webfolder..

Just some more information... not sure if it's helpful

Hi CyrexCore2k,
I think ml will be using an environment variable to locate the linker. It will then invoke the linker with its own, made up command line.
Sadly I dont know which environment variable it needs setting. Have you any documentation on masm that may help?

If you look at those lines there's nothing wrong with the syntax there so I'm not sure what your assembler is talking about.

Paul,
Yeah thats what I was thinking too since I do have VS 6.0 and VS .Net installed on this system as well... maybe it's trying to use one of their linkers.
I've looked around the files in the zip that I installed masm from but I'm really not sure where to look x_x
To my knowledge MS has released masm 6 as a free product so here's the zip if you feel like taking a look

YESSSS :D
Okay so I'm still not sure where that environment variable is but I just went ahead and ran ML with the compile only switch and then went directly to the directory with MASMs linker and told it to link the compiled object file and it works :)
I don't feel like trying to figure out all this path stuff so I'll probably just write a batch file to do that for me.
Thanks Paul!

Hi CyrexCore2k,
Here's a batch file that came with the old MSVC 3.1 called MSVCVARS.BAT.
@echo off
set TOOLROOTDIR=C:\MSVC
set PATH=C:\MSVC\BIN;%PATH%
set INCLUDE=C:\MSVC\INCLUDE;%I NCLUDE%
set LIB=C:\MSVC\LIB;%LIB%
You will probably have to tinker with it. It might be of help.
