how do I use POLINK to make an exe of an obj?

[josku_x]

The title says it all..

I have obj files which I want to 'convert' to exe.
what is the command line for this which PB also uses?

I have no clue and I searched but without luck.

Thanks!

I'm guessing it's something like polink a.obj out.exe. PB also links with the PB libraries and API import libraries.

i think you want to make an exe from mscoff example from fasm !
From the mscoff directory, write the following line (just change the directory) :

Code: Select all

F:\_PROGRAMS_\PureBasic4\Compilers\polink /entry:_demo /libpath:F:\_PROGRAMS_\PureBasic4\PureLibraries\Windows\Libraries mscoff.obj user32.lib

with gcc installed (linker = ld) :

Code: Select all

ld -e _demo mscoff.obj libuser32.a -o mscoff.exe -s

THanks! Just how did you know to what I need this :roll:
I am stepping into advanced levels, and I don't know much on these, that's why I needed help.
