Question and Answer Database FAQ1288C.txt Linker error in response file: expected an option Category :Linker Platform :Win95/NT Product : C++Builder1.0 C++Builder3.x Question: I can't seem to get TLINK32 to use perfectly reasonable response files anymore. Response files that were working fine with 5.01's TLINK32 now produce only a cryptic "Expected an option" error with C++Builder. The errors seems to be related to merely using '+' continuations on the libraries line of the response, rather than any missing "options". Answer: TLINK32 now functions in exactly the way you describe. It is no longer possible to use + signs in the middle of a line in response files. So that means if you have makefiles that pass something like this to the linker liba.lib + libb.lib + libc.lib + [more lines here...] we have to rewrite it like this liba.lib libb.lib libc.lib + [more lines here...] Those intermediate plus signs are no longer accepted. 7/2/98 10:32:32 AM
