Illegal Character in DEF File Error

[James Bott]

I am trying to compile an appliction that I have compiled before. Now I am getting this error:

Turbo Incremental Link 5.00 Copyright (c) 1997, 2000 Borland
Tussman.res(1):'Invalid character in .DEF file'
Fatal: Error processing .DEF file

There is a Tussman.rc file that is converted to Tussman.res by the resource compiler. I can't find a .DEF file anywhere.

I gradually deleted everything in the RC file until it was empty and I still get the same error. After I removed both the RC and RES files, then it compiles without error.

Any ideas? What is a .DEF file?

I am using the buildh.bat file, with slight modifications to include a couple of extra OBJs.

If I remember correctly, a DEF file is a 16 bit stuff. You might have mixed the batch files.

James,

It may be an extra or a missing "," when calling the linker. Please let us see how you call the linker.

Antonio,

Yeah, a missing comma it was. I would have never thought of that.

Thanks,
James
