I’m trying to compile with the following command line:
"C:\Program Files\dm\bin\dmc.exe"  "CTOCPP.C"  -l"listfile.txt"

The compile is ok and creates the object file CTOCPP.obj  (and listfile.txt)
with no errors.  When the linker starts I get the following message:

OPTLINK : Error 118 : Filename Expected
LIB="C:\Program Files\dm\bin\..\lib";"C:\Program Files\dm\bin\..\mfc\lib;"

The linker then terminates with exit code 1.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Thanks,
jimp

That looks fine. I suspect the problem is with the LIB environment variable.
What is that set to?

Walter,



I found the problem.  The dm directory has a space in it (it is actually d
m).  I removed it and it works ok.  I have had the same problem with other
compilers.  It is actually in the Program Files (with a space) folder but
this didn't seem to matter.



Anyway, thanks for the help.  The last change you suggested caused it to do
something different which allowed me to find the problem.



Jimp
