Using the /nologo switch in conjunction with /e switch can cause ILINK
version 1.20 to fail. The problem will occur when an incremental link
cannot be performed and the command specified by the /e switch is
performed instead. If the /e switch is preceded anywhere on the
command line by /nologo, then the link will fail.
For example, the following command line
ILINK /nologo /e "link hello;" hello.exe
where hello.obj exists but hello.exe doesn't, will produce the
following messages:
Microsoft (R) Segmented-Executable Linker Version 5.10
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1984-1990. All rights reserved.
LINK : fatal error L1089: : cannot open response file
ILINK : warning L4252: file '/e.exe' does not exist
ILINK : performing full link
ILINK : fatal error L1233: 'link' returned 2
Placing the /nologo switch after the /e switch on the command line
will alleviate the problem.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem with LINK version 1.20.
We are researching this problem and will post new information here as
it becomes available.
