What is BINB? I have a BINNT, BINW and BINP. If you are running on NT, then
you should have BINNT on your path to run wcc386.exe

Does this only occur when run within nmake or also when running the compiler
command direct from the command prompt?

Is this some kind of joke? Why are you asking about Watcom 10.0 here?
If you were using Open Watcom, that'd be different, but since you
aren't, we really can't help you!

Indeed. Watcom 10 is old and no-one has knowledge of that anymore. Please
download Openwatcom 1.2, and retry. If you still have a problem, please
report the host (system you are compiling on).

Watcom C 11.x or before cannot run on Windows XP, or Windows 2K SP4.
However, they may run on Windows 2K SP3 or earlier version.

The last line suggests that you are running a DOS-based version of the
compiler under 32-bit Windows. Or perhaps a 16-bit Windows version.
Are you quite certain that this is what you wish to do?

Even with 10.0, I seem to recall multiple "BINx" subdirectories.
Perhaps you could check your path and your documentation and ensure
that the one you using is correct for the version of Windows you are
using. (If a "BINNT" subdirectory exists, that is probably the one to
use).

And, unless you need 10.0 for some reason (I believe it was the last
version to support overlays), upgrading to OW would probably be a good
idea.

Not a true statement, I have 10.6 running and compiling on XP SP2 without
any problems.

Hi,

i am using wat106. If i type in the dos-box wcc386, the same error occurs.
We have here two Win2000 Servers with exact the same hardware and since
yesterday on one server this compiler don't work.
did you solve your problem? Thanks!!

Greetings

Tom
