M68K and libraries

[rcman]

Hey all,

When I compiled on my A2000 I used to have this script setup for compiling. In the S directory I'd have this file.

a68k <filen>.asm -q -o<filen>.o -i:include
blink <filen>.o library :lib/amiga.lib to <

I'd have an alias to asm in my Shell-Startup

alias asm execute s:asm []

Is it still done this way? I have downloaded the newest amiga.lib but it crashes this blink command.

blink finalv1.o library dh0:libs/amiga.lib

It's been a long time since I've done this. Can someone help me out?

Thanks
RC

There is an argument missing for the "<". Actually, is this a script for execute? If so, then a ".key" directive is missing at its start.

Well, it is typically done with a makefile.

The target file is missing, i.e. "TO finalv" as additional arguments to blink.

Thank you for the reply. I am not sure what you mean by .key I have been away from Amiga for a long time.

Yes the asm file is this currently

a68k <filen>.asm -q -o<filen>.o -i:include
blink <filen>.o library :lib/amiga.lib to <

The hard drive on my amiga got currupt so I don't know what it had before.

Update:

So I can use the asm command. It says it cannot find amiga.lib even though it's there.

Update2:

I got it all working. Thank you for helping me fix this.

If you want to use argument substitution in shell scripts, you need to provide a ".key" describing the arguments, e.g.

.key filen

as first line of the script. Then "<filen>" will be substituted by the argument given to the script.

Where is "there"? According to your command line, it is in :lib, that is, in the current drive, in the top-level directory named lib. Did you probably mean "lib:" instead? This would mean "in the directory assigned to lib:".
