Question and Answer Database FAQ776C.txt Transferring Large DOS programs to IDE projects Category :IDE Platform :DOS Product : BC++4.5x BC++5.x Question: I have a multi-file DOS graphics program that has been evolving for years using a command-line make file to build. In order to use your PVCS, I want to migrate it to a project that I will develop from the IDE. I have succeeded in attaching the files to the project tree and compiling them, but the linker gives the following error message: Segment _TEXT exceeds 64K [when I use the COMPACT model] and Fixup overflow at _TEXT:0136 [when I use LARGE or HUGE model] Answer: The first message means that you created more than 64K of code; this would be a limitation of the compact memory model. Use the medium or large memory model. The second message means that you did not do a "build all" after switching memory models, so some of your code is still sitting around compiled in the compact memory model. Do a build all. Do not use the huge memory model — use the large memory model. 5/13/98 10:43:58 AM
