First, I am basically a total beginner at C.
I'm playing with an old Microsoft terminal program call MTTTY.
I sucessfully compiled it. I wanted to see the assembly language produced, so I added the -Tx86-asm switch to CCFLAGS.
(As an aside question, CCFLAGS seems to be protected, I couldn't change it under project options/compiler, I had to manually edit the ppj file.)
No when I compile, I get the error:
POLINK: fatal error: Invalid machine type in object 'F:\PellesC\Progs\mttymod\output\Error2.obj'.
*** Error code: 1 ***
I can't see anything in the code to cause this, but then I'm not very good a C.
Here is the code for Error2.C

#include <windows.h>
#include "mttty.h" /* included in all the other modules, so I don't think the error is here */
DWORD ErrorExtender(DWORD, char **);
DWORD ErrorExtender(DWORD dwError, char ** szBuffer)
{
DWORD dwRes = 0;
dwRes = FormatMessage( FORMAT_MESSAGE_FROM_SYSTEM | FORMAT_MESSAGE_ALLOCATE_BUFFER | 80 ,
NULL, dwError,
MAKELANGID(LANG_ENGLISH, SUBLANG_ENGLISH_US),
(LPTSTR) szBuffer, 0, NULL);
if (dwRes == 0) {
*szBuffer = LocalAlloc(LPTR, 1);
return 1;
}
return dwRes;
}
void ErrorReporter(char * szMessage)
{
char * szFormat = "Error %d: %s.\n\r%s\r\n"; // format for wsprintf
char * szExtended; // error string translated from error code
char * szFinal; // final string to report
DWORD dwExtSize;
DWORD dwErr;
dwErr = GetLastError();
/*
Get error string from system
*/
dwExtSize = ErrorExtender(dwErr, &szExtended);
/*
allocate buffer for error string from system, passed in string
and extra stuff from the szFormat string
*/
szFinal = LocalAlloc(LPTR, strlen(szMessage) + dwExtSize + 30);
if (szFinal == NULL) // if no final buffer, then can't format error
MessageBox(ghwndMain, "Cannot properly report error.", "Fatal Error", MB_OK);
else {
wsprintf(szFinal, szFormat, dwErr, szMessage, szExtended);
OutputDebugString(szFinal);
if (DISPLAYERRORS(TTYInfo))
MessageBox(ghwndMain, szFinal, NULL, MB_OK);
LocalFree(szFinal); // free final buffer
}
/*
free extended string buffer
*/
LocalFree(szExtended);
return;
}
void ErrorHandler(char * szMessage)
{
ErrorReporter(szMessage);
ExitProcess(0);
}
void ErrorInComm(char * szMessage)
{
ErrorReporter(szMessage);
BreakDownCommPort();
ExitProcess(0);
}
Since it worked before I asked for the assembly source listing, I'm a little mystified here. Any help will be appreciated.
p.s.-
Since this is the FIRST module in the project, it may be that this error would show for every module.
pps.
I stripped the code down to this but still get the same error, so I don't think it is code related-
#include <windows.h>
DWORD ErrorExtender(DWORD dwError, char ** szBuffer)
{
ExitProcess(0);
}
void ErrorReporter(char * szMessage)
{
ExitProcess(0);
}
void ErrorHandler(char * szMessage)
{
ExitProcess(0);
}
void ErrorInComm(char * szMessage)
{
ExitProcess(0);
}
ppps-
and in case it helps, here is the project file-
