FIX: L2049 Error From LINK 5.1x with /HIGH Option (77823)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft LINK for MS-DOS 5.1
- Microsoft LINK for MS-DOS 5.11
- Microsoft LINK for MS-DOS 5.13
- Microsoft LINK for MS-DOS 5.15
This article was previously published under Q77823 SYMPTOMS
An attempt to link an application fails and Microsoft LINK generates the
following message:
LINK : error L2049: no segments defined
CAUSE
The linker command line contains the /HIGH option switch. The error occurs
because the linker checks for an empty .EXE file incorrectly.
RESOLUTION
LINK produces the .EXE file correctly. You can ignore the error message
when the command line includes the /HIGH option.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in LINK versions 5.1, 5.11,
5.13, and 5.15 for MS-DOS. This problem was corrected in LINK version 5.2
for MS-DOS. LINK version 5.2 generates an L4076 warning message in place of
the L2049 error message.
