DOCUMENT:Q87931 08-OCT-1999 [utilities] TITLE :Preventing Microsoft LINK From Running CVPACK PRODUCT :Microsoft Programming Utilities PROD/VER:: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kb16bitonly ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft LINK for MS-DOS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= By default, when the LINK command line includes the /CO[DEVIEW] option (to add symbolic debugging information to the executable file), LINK runs the CVPACK program to reduce the size of the data. To prevent LINK from running CVPACK, specify the following option on the LINK command line: /CO[DEVIEW]:N[OCVPACK] To debug an application with Microsoft CodeView versions 4.0 and later, CVPACK must process the executable file. If CVPACK does not process the file, an attempt to debug it with CodeView does not show any source code and one of the following messages appears: CV0102: unpacked CodeView information in 'filename': use CVPACK CV0103: relink 'filename' with the current linker Additional query words: kbinf 5.30 5.31.009 5.50 5.60 ====================================================================== Keywords : kb16bitonly Technology : kbAudDeveloper kbZNotKeyword3 kbLINKSearch Version : : ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
