HLA commandline

[gedumer]

When I compile any of the examples, I get the following:

E:\hla\Examples>hla strdemo.hla
Assembling: strdemo.asm
LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "e:\hla\hlalib.obj"
Error returned by link = 1181

Here is the same thing using the -v option:

E:\hla\Examples>hla strdemo.hla -v

Help please... Gary.

Your hlalib environment has to point to the actual hlalib.lib file.

Add (or change) this line wherever it is you set the environment on your system:

set hlalib=e:\hla\hlalib\hlalib.lib

Thanks... that did it.
