Using Link with a
response file
Note
A response file should
end
with
either
a
semicolon
(;)
or
a RETURN/LINEFEED combination.
If
you fail
to
provide
a final
RETURNILINEFEED in
the
file,
the
linker will display
the
last line
of
the
response file and wait for you
to
press
the
RETURN key.
Example:
The
following response file tells
the
linker
to
link
the
four
object
modules,
moda, modb,
modc, and startup. Then, before produc-
ing
the
executable
file moda.exe, it tells
link
to
pause
to
let
you
swap disks. Finally,
the
linker creates a map file abc.
map
and
searches
the
math. lib library in
the
\ lib
directory
of
drive
B:
moda modb modc
startup
/PAUSE
abc
[
[
[
[
b:\lib\math
c=_
The
following
procedure
combines all
three
methods
of
supplying
filenames. Assume you have a response file called
library
that
con- [
tains
one
line:
lib1+lib2+lib3+lib4
Now
start
link
with a partial
command
line:
link
object1
object2
Link
takes objectl.obj and object2.obj as its
object
files, and
prompts
for
the
next
file:
Run
File
[object1.EXE1:
exec
List
File
[NUL.MAP]:
Libraries
[.LIB]:
@library
You
include
the
name exec
so
that
the
linker will
name
the
exe-
cutable
file exec.exe. You
then
press
the
RETURN
key
to
indicate
that
no
map file is desired,
and
you
enter
@library
so
that
the
linker will read in
the
response
file containing
the
four library
filenames.
