Question and Answer Database FAQ2023C.txt TASM fails to generate OBJ files Category :IDE Platform :All Product :C++Builder 1.x Question: I've installed C++Builder and the Turbo Assembler on the same machine, and i'm trying to use them together. I am finding, however, that my .asm modules are never compiled --- C++Builder claims to be invoking the assembler, but the .objs are never generated. What am I doing wrong? Answer: There are two important side-effects of the behavior of the C++Builder IDE that effect its interaction with the assembler. (1) The communication channel between the C++Builder IDE and the assembler does not understand long file names in the path. This means that the assembler MUST be installed in a directory that does not have a long file name in its path, and that C++Builder should be as well. (2) The C++Builder 1.0 IDE is unable to set output directories, or communicate information about output directories to the linker. This means that your .asm modules MUST reside in the same directory as your .cpp modules in order for them to be found. 7/2/98 10:32:32 AM
