Hi all,

I've read the supplied BASCOM 5.3 documentation, and searched the web but can't seem to get a file to compile as a stand alone program. Whenever I use the /O switch my programs still say BRUN.COM is missing.

Can someone please give me a heads up in regards to which switches to throw at L80.COM?

Thanks heaps!

You do have BRUN.COM on the same disk as the compiled COM file, right? It has to be on the same disk.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply but I'm trying to construct a standalone COM file that doesn't require BRUN.COM. According to the supplied test files I need to use the /O flag, but as mentioned originally I can't get it to actually work as expected.

Code: Select all

/O        (Newer versions only).  Tells the compiler to  construct a stand-
          alone program instead of one  requiring presence of the  BRUN.COM
          runtime module.  This generates much bigger programs because  all
          of the runtime routines must be included.

Thanks

Given a basic program saved in ASCII called SAMPLE.BAS:

Thanks heaps Mike, I was using the flag on L80.COM.
