Aztec version 5 installation: Linking problem

[Toki]

I've installed Aztec to my hard drive on Winuae and inputting the basic Hello World program but it is failing when it comes to linking. Error message concerns the c.lib file not being found.

I've followed the installation instructions in the manual religiously: adding the correct script to the startup file, but still no joy.

I've even copied c.lib to RAM, but it still cannot find it.

Has anyone any ideas? Thanks. Hope you are all well and safe.

Probably a missing assignment for the library search path?

I don't know about Aztec-C V5, but I used V3.4 from hard disk 32 years ago on my A1000. What's was the exact command line for compiling and linking?

Aztec has its own custom "Set" instruction in the bin directory, which you have to use, because the AmigaOS Set command won't work. As example (stolen from Gamma0511 at A1k.org):

DH0:Aztec/bin/set "CLIB=...path to... c.lib..."

I've added to s/startup-sequence on the hard disk

path "Dh1:Aztec/Bin"
set CCTEMP=ram:
set "CLIB=DH1:Aztec/Lib"
set "INCLUDE=DH1:Aztec/Include"
echo "Welcome to Aztec C version 5.0a*

I've added these lines by using ED in the Shell.

Thanks

As wrote by PeterK, you should replace every set command with Dh1:Aztec/Bin/set; otherwise the AmigaDos set will be executed, especially if your system is 2.0+ where the set command is resident in ROM.

Thanks, I'll try that right now!

Perfect, perfect, perfect. I can't tell you what a relief that is. Thanks very much for your help. I've tried so many different solutions.
Do you think I'll come across any other problems like this using WB3.1 to run Aztec 5.0a?

I don't know... never used the Aztec C. This problem was due to an unhappy choose of the command name; try to use it and report any problem you'll encounter someone will try to help you.
