A question submitted to me... - oracle - 02-28-2004
Another question I couldn't answer, I recieved this at my webmaster at qbnz address:
_____
I appreciate your site.
I search a piece of information.
I work in qb71: no problem with windows 98SE, but with Windows 2000 PRO, I cannot "link". The linkage editor claims from me the library "brt71enp" and I don't find it.
With Windows 98, the linkage editor asks the library "brt71enr" that I get.
Is there a special version for Windows 2000?
I did not find about that on Internet.
Can you answer to me?

Anyone know about this?

I think I've had that problem before, but I can't seem to reproduce it now:
I just compiled a simple hello world program in QBX 7.1 under Windows XP, and it worked. I tried creating an EXE that requires the runtime and that also worked.

Oracle, for the short while that I had installed WinXP on my computer sometimes the QB compiler used to complain about the path for brt71enr.lib. But I had solved it by setting my paths correctly.
Also, the second thing that still baffles me is the fact that sometimes my program wouldnt find some files even if I provided the entire path for example if I had to load a .bmp using FL i used to provide it with "c:\myprog\foo.bmp" but it wouldnt load and it used to flag the error "Path not found".

The program is trying to compile for protected mode ("brt71enp") rather than real mode ("brt71enr"). He probably doesn't have the right run time module loaded. He probably doesn't want to compile for protected mode anyway, because he will loose a lot of features, such as graphics. He should check his settings for compiling.

Those pmode progs were for OS/2, and, as reported recently, can't be run in Windows.
anyhow, the complete package of PDS 7.1 that Plasma supplied a while ago can be downloaded from my site_

Why would he be compiling for protected mode?

I don't know, but brt71enp is a protected mode run time module. The last three letters are Emulator math, Near strings, and Protected mode. Since LINK is looking for a protected mode run time, I would guess he is compiling his program for protected mode.
Since na_th_an has pointed that OS/2 protected mode is not compatable with Windows. He should check his settings to make sure that he is compiling for real mode.
