Title: masm32 linker problem

Problem with the masm32 linker.

I just wanted to test the masm32 assembler, my code couldn't be simpler:

dosseg
.model small
.stack 200h
.data
.code

start:
mov ax, 4c00h
int 21h
end start

This (called simple.asm) assembles fine, but f^*"s up on linking, I'll give you the compile log exactly as it appears in the command line:

c:\Secondary\masm32\BIN>ml simple.asm

/z2

"simple.exe"
NUL
LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognised option "z2"; ignored

LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "simple.exe"

c:\Secondary\masm23/BIN>

What did I do wrong?

Redefine the topic as masm linker USER problem. You are trying to link 16 bit code with a 32 bit linker. Get the linker fom the forum web site at the top of the page if you want to write 16 bit code. Otherwise write 32 bit code and use the linker in MASM32.
