Using Link with
prompts
Example:
The following example links the object modules modaobj,
mOdb.obj, modc.obj, and startup.obj; searches the library file
math. lib on drive B of the \ lib directory for routines and data
used in the program; and creates an executable file named
modaexe, and a map file named abc.map. The Ipause option in
the Object Modules prompt line then causes link to pause while
you change disks, after which the linker creates the executable
file (see the section entitled "Pausing to Change Disks," later in
this chapter):
link
Object Modules [.OBJl: moda+modb+
Object Modules [.OBJl: modc+startup/PAU5E
Run File [moda.EXEl:
List File [NUL.MAPl: abc
Libraries [.LIBl: b:\lib\math
Using a Command Line to Specify Link Files
You can create an executable program by typing link, followed
by the names of the files you wish to process. The command line
has
the following general form:
link objectfiles [,[ executable file 1 [,[ mapfile 1
[ ,[ libraryfile llll [options 1 [; 1
The variables in this command line are described as follows:
objectfiles
executable
file
Includes the name or names of object files that
you want to link together. The files must have
been created using MASM or a high-Ievel-
language compiler.
The linker requires at least
one object file. If you do not supply an exten-
sion,
link provides the extension. obj.
Is an optional placeholder for the name you
wish to give the executable file that link will
create.
If you do not supply an executable file ,
link creates a filename by using the name of
the first object file in the command line and
appending it
with an .exe extension.
