The recommended method of linking when some or all of the object files have references to OCL function calls is to use ICC, and not LINK386, ILINK, etc.

To link an object file (.OBJ) which makes use of OCL, the following should be used:

• if you are using the project templates and WorkFrame that come with VisualAge C++, then
  1. click on Tools
  2. make certain that View is set to Actions
  3. right-mouse-click on Link
  4. click on Add
  5. make certain that:
     • general.class == Link
     • general.name == Link (OCL)
     • general.program == ICC.EXE
     • general.session == MONITOR
     • general.action applies to FILE, not PROJECT
     • types.source == LinkerIn
     • types.target == LinkerOut
     • support.name == CPPICL30
     • support.entrypoint == LINK
     • click on OK
  6. close the tools setup
  7. regenerate the makefile to use the new link method, recompile and link

• if you are linking from the command-line, or using your own makefiles, then
  1. use the command icc.exe <other optional compiler flags> /B" /pmtype:pm" myfile.obj
