Hello, I would like to ask if there could be some assistance about the
message in the subject line.
It seems an "easy-to-solve" matter but I have gone through all the
FAQ's questions (to my knowledge extention), and could not find the
reason of it.
Well, I normally work on a Venturis FX Pentium 5100e Digital machine
which runs Windows NT Workstation version 4.00.1381. To begin with, I
have no administrator rights, but can access root directory files and
edit autoexec.nt.
Ok, the problem is I can compile and run my C programs just fine, but
when I try to compile and run my C++ programs ( gcc -c
prognamesource.cc -o rognamedest.exe) it normally does nothing but
display the prompt again (??- of course! the program displays at least
something more than that!!), or it halts the CMD session. Then,
I try to compile to obtain the object file ( gcc -c prognamesource.cc)
and use coff2exe to get the
executable file, this is when the above message appears. When, in some
instance I run go32-v2 it gives me the following information (only a
Netscape Navigator Session, this one, and a couple of CMD's sessions
are up):
DPMI memory available: 7639 kb
DPMI swap space available: 10101 kb
Machine has 40 MB RAM installed.
FAQ #3.1 says that a minimum of 8MB extended RAM is necessary to run
large C++ programs, but the one I run is a small one and don't think
this plus the linked header occupy too much space in the compiled one.
Also, FAQ#3.3 says under the configuration I have, it's supposed to
work, anyway, reinstallation is not one of my choices either!!
I also checked the AUTOEXEC.NT file (according to FAQ# 6.2 since I
can't load CWSDPMI under NT, of course, I tried to do it first but
certainly doesn't work), and the command line has the following:
REM Install DPMI support
lh %SystemRoot%\system32\dosx
It means, DPMI is indeed, being loaded.
Well, I have no idea where else to go and if something can be done (of
course again, without reinstalling the OS!!), I would really, really
appreciate. I have had a good time with my C programs under DJGPP, and
would like to continue using it for my C++ ones!!
Thanks a lot!!
Best Regards:
