- I am porting a DOS program to OS/2.
- I successfully linked it for the first time today with LINK386.
- It took 1 minute 13 seconds.
- I went to OS/2's DOS command line, and compiled and linked
- the same source code for DOS, and the LINK time was 5 seconds,
- with MicroSoft's LINK 5.13.
- Does anyone know how to speed up LINK386?
-
- The code was compiled with IBM's C Set/2 compiler.
- I build 3 .lib's and the link step links 5 .obj's with
- my 3 .lib's plus IBM's .lib's.
- The .lib's were created by IBM's LIB.EXE.
- The LINK386 options are:
-
- LINK386 /a:16 /base:65536 /m /noi /pm:vio /st:0x1a000
-
- I have "DISKCACHE=512,LW,32" in CONFIG.SYS.
- I am running on a 33 Mhz 486 with 16 MB of RAM.
-
- LINK386 produces a 150K .EXE file, and takes 1 min 13 seconds to do so.
- While LINK386 is running, the disk drive light is on constantly, and
- PULSE shows the system is about 20% busy.
-
- Can anyone help???
