Hi!

I have a problem

I can not compile my applicatin
I have 150 application files ( prg )

Like this

Clipper myprog

Can you help me?
Can you write me a link or batch file for me?

thanks

You need to devide your program into overlay files.
This way the linker will create .OVL files that will be used only when called during the execution of your program and it will reduce the exe size.

I never used blinker, i used rtlink. I would assume blinker can do the same (create ovl files).

look in your help manual and try to find (creating overlay or ovl or *.ovl) file!

Hi,

See below for a script for blinker (we'll call it MYAPP.LK5 for the sake of argument).

BLINKER EXECUTABLE MYAPP F225;R100;E500;
BLINKER INCREMENTAL OFF
BLINKER EXECUTABLE EXTENDED
# output file
OUTPUT \apps\MYAPP
OVERLAY CODE,$CONSTANTS
# burn in the clipper variables...
# core part in memory
FI obj\MYPROG1

#Assume all clipper stuff is in C:\LANG\CL50...
   search C:\LANG\cl50\lib\BLXCLP50
   LIB C:\LANG\cl50\lib\clipper
   search C:\LANG\cl50\lib\EXTEND
   search C:\LANG\cl50\lib\dbfntx
   search C:\LANG\cl50\lib\terminal

BEGINAREA
        SECTION FI OBJ\MYPROG2
        SECTION FI OBJ\MYPROG3        
        SECTION FI OBJ\MYPROG...
...
...
        SECTION FI OBJ\MYPROG148
        SECTION FI OBJ\MYPROG149
        SECTION FI OBJ\MYPROG150

ENDAREA

To use something like this you need to compile each of your prg files using syntax like this:

clipper MyProg1 -m -oOBJ\MyProg1

This will put the object files in the OBJ folder (keeps the dev folder tidy)

To invoke Blinker using the MyApp.lk5 script:

Blinker @MyApp.lk5

Does that help?
