Compiling and Linking a C Program
To run a program, first compile and link the program to make an
executable file. To compile and link a program:
Make sure the necessary PATH statements have been added to your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file to enable the compiler to find the library and
header files (see your C Language manual to specify the proper paths).
Link the appropriate GPIB C library file for your compiler (the file is
located on the
GPIB Command Library disk that came with the GPIB
Interface Card). Use the appropriate library file:
clhpib.lib
for Microsoft
®
QuickC
®
tchhpib.lib for Borland
®
Turbo C
®
++
If you are not compiling in the “large” or “huge” memory model,
include the “
CFUNC.H” header file in your program (the file is located
on the
GPIB Command Library disk that came with the GPIB
Interface Card).
To compile Microsoft
®
QuickC
®
programs from the DOS command line
(using the “large” memory model), execute the following:
qcl /AL <
path... \program.C> <path... \clhpib.lib>
For example:
qcl /AL b:\arb_wave.c c:\qc2\lib\clhpib.lib
Change the “/AL” parameter to the appropriate setting when
compiling in the smaller memory models (see your C Language
manual for more information). For some programs, you may also have
to change the stack size using the “/F ” parameter.
