hi there seems to be a problem with make.exe (version 3.79). I am relatively new to this utility but the problem seems to not be concerned with my ignorance ;) this is my makefile: test.exe : test.obj tlink /3 /t test.obj test.obj : test.asm tasm /z test.asm i get the error: D:\>make tlink /3 /t test.obj Loader error (0025): cannot initialize make.exe: *** [test.exe] Error -1 when i change different linkers the makefile works fine. Has this been a known issue before? if so is there anyway around it? i am running Windows 98 SE, i am using Make 3.79, from an MS-DOS command prompt please get in touch with me if more information is needed or if you need the binaries. hope you can help. regards, boggy
