Joe, and others..
After my private letter to Joe telling him that I had the same
problem, I started poking around the VAX CC compiler (which I don't
know very well!!!), and came up with the following solution:
I have the following LINK LIBRARIES defined in my login.com file:
$! The following commands define my C programming link libraries:
$ DEFINE LNK$LIBRARY SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCCURSE
$ DEFINE LNK$LIBRARY_1 SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTLG !<-- (this is important -JHN)
$ DEFINE LNK$LIBRARY_2 SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL
In Primer's MAKEVAX.COM file, change the following:
$compile:
$ cc'opt' PRIMER
$ cc'opt' TEXT
$! ----------
to:
$compile:
$ cc'opt' /G_FLOAT PRIMER
$ cc'opt' /G_FLOAT TEXT
$! ----------
Then execute the MAKEVAX.COM file, and everything should work out wrt
the floating points (well it just did with me).
All the best,
