C Tutorial - Lesson One Learning How to Compile With Open Watcom

Compiling the Project

You'll see the IDE log.

It shows the batch file that was run to make your application. The first line switches into the project folder, then wmake (Watcom's Make tool) processes the project file ex1.mk. This runs wcc386 - the Watcom Compiler to compile example1.c into example1.obj. (If you look in the project folder you will see this file). Finally wlink (Watcom's Link utility) links example1.obj into ex1.exe.

cd C:\development\c\tutorials\lesson one
wmake -f "C:\development\c\tutorials\lesson one\ex1.mk" -h -e "C:\development\c\tutorials\lesson one\ex1.exe"
wcc386 example1.c -i=C:\WATCOM\h;C:\WATCOM\h\nt -w4 -e25 -zq -od -d2 -6r -bt=nt -mf
wlink name ex1 d all SYS nt op m op maxe=25 op q op symf @ex1.lk1
