Simple Question! Clipper to .exe

[PSUIVERSON]

I don't write CLIPPER but spent time breaking down CLIPPER and rewriting as VBA last year.

This year I need to run an old CLIPPER program but with some tweaking.

I took the original .prg file and added the lines I needed but now I don't know how to make an .exe file to run the new code.

What do I need to do?

Thanks for your help!

This depends on the complexity of your app.

If it is just one .prg file that is built to make a .exe file then you can simply compile and link it.

C:\LANG\CL50\BIN\CLIPPER %1
BLINKER FI %1 LI C:\LANG\CL50\LIB\CLIPPER,C:\LANG\CL50\LIB\EXTEND,C:\LANG\CL50\LIB\TERMINAL,C:\LANG\CL50\LIB\DBFNTX

The batch file code sample above assumes you are working with Clipper 5, and have it in a folder on your C: drive ...

Also it's set up to use the Blinker Linker, I don't have an example for another one to hand... it's invoked thus:

MK50 MyPrg

where MK50 is the batch file, and MyPrg is the program (leave off the .prg extension for this).

Does this help?
