Title: Window managers and MASM
Post by: aenzient on September 20, 2008, 11:49:57 AM
Greets to everyone.

Every time I open up asm file from custom window manager such as ExplorerXP or FreeCommander to QEditor, it opens fine but I can't build it. If I first open QEditor normally and load that same asm file it builds without problems. I've tried to go around this without ditching my favorite window manager but every time I try building my stuff I get:

LINK: fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file "C:\path\to\asm.obj"

Any suggestions?

You are probably suffering from long file name problems. Try renaming the folders involved to remove any spaces.

The difference you are observing is probably because some uses of the common dialogs will default to short paths while command line arguments are typically given as long paths.

Cheers,

aenzient,

I have already tracked down a problem with QE in its command line handling, it manages long file and path names in quotes correctly but not if the name is not quoted. I will have it fixed with the next release. It is a new editor and I expected to find a few glitches here and there.
