This section lists errors that occur when the compiler is processing the command line or handling
the configuration files.
Warning: Only one source file supported
You can specify only one source file on the
command line. The first one will be compiled, others will be ignored. This may indicate
that you forgot a ’-’ sign.
Warning: DEF file can be created only for OS/2
This option can only be specified
when you’re compiling for OS/2
Error: nested response files are not supported
you cannot nest response files with the
@file command-line option.
Fatal: No source file name in command line
The compiler expects a source file name
on the command line.
Note: No option inside arg1 config file
The compiler didn’t find any option in that
config file.
Error: Illegal parameter: arg1
You specified an unknown option.
Hint: -? writes help pages
When an unknown option is given, this message is diplayed.
Fatal: Too many config files nested
You can only nest up to 16 config files.
Fatal: Unable to open file arg1
The option file cannot be found.
Reading further options from arg1
Displayed when you have notes turned on, and the
compiler switches to another options file.
Warning: Target is already set to: arg1
Displayed if more than one -T option is
specified.
Warning: Shared libs not supported on DOS platform, reverting to static
If you
specify -CD for the dosplatform, this message is displayed. The compiler supports only
static libraries under dos
Fatal: too many IF(N)DEFs
the #IF(N)DEF statements in the options file are not
balanced with the #ENDIF statements.
Fatal: too many ENDIFs
the #IF(N)DEF statements in the options file are not balanced
with the #ENDIF statements.
Fatal: open conditional at the end of the file
the #IF(N)DEF statements in the
options file are not balanced with the #ENDIF statements.
Warning: Debug information generation is not supported by this executable
It is possible to have a compiler executable that doesn’t support the generation of
debugging info. If you use such an executable with the -g switch, this warning will be
displayed.
Hint: Try recompiling with -dGDB
It is possible to have a compiler executable that
doesn’t support the generation of debugging info. If you use such an executable with
the -g switch, this warning will be displayed.
Error: You are using the obsolete switch arg1
this warns you when you use a switch
that is not needed/supported anymore. It is recommended that you remove the switch
to overcome problems in the future, when the switch meaning may change.
Error: You are using the obsolete switch arg1, please use arg2
this
warns you when you use a switch that is not supported anymore. You must now use
the second switch instead. It is recommended that you change the switch to overcome
problems in the future, when the switch meaning may change.
Note: Switching assembler to default source writing assembler
this notifies you
that the assembler has been changed because you used the -a switch which can’t be
used with a binary assembler writer.
Warning: Assembler output selected ”arg1” is not compatible with ”arg2”
Warning: ”arg1” assembler use forced
The assembler output selected can not generate
object files with the correct format. Therefore, the default assembler for this target is
used instead.
