Setting up WinAsm Studio with MASM, writing only a single file (not a project) the make menu is dimmed, I already put Link16.exe in the masm32\bin directory.

Hi!

I'm just starting my adventure with WinASM as well as with assembler. I've a problem with setting up WinASM to work with my programs. My problems are :
1. When writing only a single file - not a project - the make menu is dimmed , only the Set Active Build is active but in this option also everything is not active.

2. I've downloaded the Link16.exe and put it in the masm32\bin directory. When I link my code I get the following message :

d:\informa\asembler\Masm32\Bin\LINK.EXE /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /RELEASE /VERSION:4.0 /LIBPATH:"d:\informa\asembler\Masm32\Lib" "D:\1.obj"

Microsoft � Incremental Linker Version 5.12.8078
Copyright � Microsoft Corp 1992-1998. All rights reserved.

1.obj : fatal error LNK1190: invalid fixup found, type 0x0001

I know that this linker is 32bit but I have the 16bit named Link16.exe in my masm32\bin and it is not used to link this program ?!

(I have masm32 and winasm in dir : d:\informa\asembler - I hope that's ok? I've changed all the paths in winasm)

How can I fix this ?

thanks for any help!

welcome tisam,

1.This is normal. You can only "make" projects-not single files

2.You need to have a 32-bit linker (named link.exe) to link 32-bit projects and a 16-bit linker (named link16.exe) to link 16-bit programs. Both linkers must be in your bin directory.

I hope it helps
