C Compilers Used The C Language programs were compiled (and tested) using the following
compilers:
• Microsoft® QuickC© Version 2.0
• Borland Turbo C++© Version 1.0
Compiling and Linking
the Programs
To run a C program, you must compile and link the program to make an
executable file. To compile and link a program:
• Be sure the necessary paths have been added to the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file for the compilers to find the library and
header files (see the appropriate C Language manual to set the
proper paths).
• Link the appropriate HP-IB C library (located on the HP-IB
Command Library disk that came with the HP-IB Interface Card).
Use the following libraries:
– Microsoft® QuickC©: clhpib.lib
– Turbo C++©: tchhpib.lib
• If NOT compiling in the Large/Huge memory model, include the
“cfunc.h” header file (located on the HP-IB Command Library disk)
in the program.
Command Line Compiling
To compile and link the programs from the DOS command line using the
Large memory model, execute the following from the directory containing
“qcl” or “tcc”.
• Microsoft® QuickC©:
qcl /AL <path \program name > <path \clhpib.lib >
e.g.
qcl /AL b:\input.c c:\qc2\lib\clhpib.lib
•
Turbo C++©:
tcc -ml <path \program name > <path \tchhpib.lib >
e.g.
tcc -ml b:\input.c c:\tc\lib\tchhpib.lib
Change the “/AL” and “-ml” parameters to the appropriate types when
compiling in the smaller memory models (see your C language manual for
the parameter type). For some programs executed under the Microsoft®
QuickC© environment, if may be necessary to change the stack size using
the /F option of the ’qcl’ command.
