Guys,

I'm facing with a strange side effect and need help.

I'm writing with FTN95 (version 5.01) a ClearWin+ code. The linker slink displays the warning message that the "following symbols are missing". All symbols listed are ClearWin functions, like draw_rectangle@, scale_font@, bold_font@ etc. In case that I resort the subroutines by copying the routines with a mentioned missing symbols to the end of the .for file the linker sometimes is satisfied and returns without this message.

I don't have any idea why this is happening. It sounds to me as an internal linker bug. Do you know a workaround (e.g. increaste stacks, specific compiler or linker options).

In addition, the effect is even more strange if I complie the code with /undef and /full_debug. In this case mostly the linker survives (but not always).

I would appreciate for any help or idea to get around this effect.

Regards
WoSl

Have you inserted:

include <windows.ins>

at the to of each subroutine/function which calls the Clearwin+ library routine?

Yes, I've inserted

include <windows.ins>

statement.

Perhaps your SLINK or salflibc.dll has got corrupted or SLINK cannot see salflibc.dll in certain contexts. Try re-installing and make sure that salflibc.dll is on the environment PATH when linking.
