#Shell problem R3-R4
5 messages in this thread
I just upgraded 3DS r3 to r4 and now get an Insuff. memory error when I shell
out to compile. For example:
——————————————————————————-
——————————–
wcc386 tuber.c /s /j /ez /mf /fpi87 /3s /oail /zq /fo=tuber.obj
Phar Lap err 10118: Can't load EXP file: D:\WATCOM\BIN\wcc386.exe
Memory error: insufficient physical memory available
86 total 4K memory pages available on system
A minimum of 114 memory pages required to run pgm
——————————————————————————-
——————————-
This on a 486 with 32M RAM and QEMM6.0.
I am starting 3ds using 3dshell and I also tried limiting 3ds to 15M using
cfig386 3ds -extlow 500000H -exthigh f00000H
With same results as above. (3ds still reported 30M available in current
status? however?)
Any help appreciated!
TIA, Dave
Hi Dave,

I'm going to pass this around my group. However, shelling out to compile also
doesn't work well with metaware and will result in corrupt builds of your code.
QA tested the product and recommends compiling the IPAS tool kits from the Dos
prompt and not shelled out from another program.
I'll get back to you regarding 3DS not recognizing your minimized RAM
environment.

Thanks for the info. I gave 3ds 20M using "-maxvcpimem 20000000 …" as
suggested in your upload. With this, 3ds recognizes the reduced RAM environment
in the status display and I am able to shell out to my editor (or DOS) and
compile. I am also able to shell out to AAPro now with 3DSr4. This is much
faster than having to relaunch 3ds after each compile.
Thanks
Dave
Hi Dave,
