[Compiler v531+]/LARGEADDRESSAWARE works.

[skywalk]

Code: Select all

; Linker.txt file contents:
/LARGEADDRESSAWARE:YES

fatal error: Invalid /LARGEADDRESSAWARE argument; use NO.

Yes, I know there is x64, but I need the additional ram per process on 32-bit machines. Extending 2GB to 3GB is a 50% increase with this simple switch!

; Change system setting to increase per process memory.
; Reboot after typing the following with Admin command prompt:
c:\>bcdedit /set IncreaseUserVA 3072

EDIT: use /LARGEADDRESSAWARE without the :YES and all is ok.

Sounds like a linker issue more like a PB one, no ?

[skywalk]

haha yes.
Is there another setting I can try or maybe a newer linker?

[Fred]

Yes, you can try to donwload PelesC, and uses the lastest linker (polink), it should be compatiable

[skywalk]

Ok, I downloaded PellesC v8.00 and updated these files:
C:\PureBasic\Compilers\porc.exe
C:\PureBasic\Compilers\polib.exe
C:\PureBasic\Compilers\polink.exe
C:\PureBasic\Compilers\porc.dll

But same error as before...
I'll ask on the PellesC forum.

EDIT: If I disable /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:NO then my compile still fails for compatibility reasons. Polink complains of many "unresolved external symbol's". I guess many changes going from v5 to v8!

[skywalk]

Sorry, the correct syntax is:
/LARGEADDRESSAWARE
Not, /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:YES.
