using Borland in a 16-bit DOS SBC card - make.exe can't initialize DPMI32VM.OVL
I've got a TS-5300 sbc card from technologic.com which I'm trying to compile my c program using borland tools. I can run bcc.exe, tasm.exe and tlink.exe but when I try to run make.exe against the make file it says: 32rtm error: couldn't initialize DPMI32VM.OVL
I have to use a special dosbox app on my windows 7 machine which runs 16-bit dos programs and the make works fine. I'm wondering which exe's or dll's I'm missing.

I suggest using DOSBox 0.74

That's exactly what I'm using and it works great as a dosbox on windows 7 but the make.exe won't run on the DOS 3.1 of the controller card which is running Embedded DOS ROM by General Software. I guess I should have mentioned that.
You should contact Technologic Systems Support...

I probably need to do some more research and rephrase my question. Thanks for the responses.
>>DPMI32VM.OVL
From the file name I assume that is for 32bit virtual machine(?? VM) overlay file...
I don't think that it has anything to do with DOS itself...
You are using bcc that stands for Borland C++ compiler and at that time was meant to be used and on DOS...
Are you sure that make.exe and the makefile are meant to be used on DOS too??

The bcc.exe, tasm.exe, tlink.exe and make.exe work in the dosbox but I only have certain files copied to the SBC card so I may be missing something. Its funny that the make doesn't work and the others do work on the SBC card. There's a whole crap-load of exe's and dll's in the bin directory of Borland. Some of them are obviously for windows like owl-whatever.
>>...and dll's in the bin ...
And as you know they have nothing to do with DOS at all...
That is and why I asked if you are sure that make.exe is meant to be used in DOS...
Can't you find that F(ine) manual??
