I've got the CDK and the latest upgrades on my Pharlap & Metaware software Im still having problems building the examples..I assume if I cant build the demos I cant build anything I write. Do I have too new of Pharlap ? The manual says 3.0 or 4.0 mine is 5.1 I think.

I had similar problems with building the examples until I downloaded the make files for Metaware from the libraries. I finally decided to use the MAKE program from my Microsoft C/C++ which worked much more effortlessly. SO maybe you have the same MAKE problems Tony

I've downloaded the updated make files and I have used microsoft's NMAKE it gives me the same error. I'll take a look at my config maybe thats where the problem is.

Hmm, sounds like you need to check the settings in your autoexec.bat. The readme.txt in the 1.01 CDK is very helpful Tony

It looks to be a Pharlap problem some of there demos will not compile either. Of course if they had'nt hardcoded "c: path" into their batch files I might have better luck. Also some of the makefiles and readme files need CR/LF, I have to run unix2dos on them.

I've been able to compile most of the examples in the original V1.0, with HighC R3.04 & Pharlap 4.1. I had to modify the makefiles in almost every instance. Generally, the metaware make complained about the use of $* in the rsp clause. Also a few other things. The DOS environment variables seem to be quite important. I also get a whole lot of warnings when compiling and some runtime errors (objects in bad format or some such. hard to read the msgs as they FLASH past. anyone found a way to redirect warnings to a file or another monitor?) I just got the v1.01 stuff today and have started playing around with it. It seems to work very differently. The rendering in V1 was terribly slow, but the new version seems to be tiling in the polygons. It flashes the screen TERRIBLY (VESA). If this is an improvement, I'm going back to Rend386!
