compilation order

larryscheier — Thu, 18 Jan 2001 03:17:22 GMT

I love DVF but I have one problem. The linker does not seem to know the proper order in which to compile dependent mod files. If I do a re-build all, for example, I would expect the linker to compile all the mod files first, starting with those which are nested within other mod files. Is there a way to force the linker to compile these first? Otherwise, I get all sorts of error about Mymod.mod file not found when a source file with a USE Mymod is encountered.

Thanks,

I assume that by "linker" you really mean "compiler". Try doing Build..Update dependencies and see if that cures the problem. If it doesn't, send a ZIP file of your workspace, and a description of the problem, to us at vf-support@compaq.com and we'll look at it. Normally, the build system DOES know how to build files in the proper order.

Thanks, Steve. That seems to do the job.
