Author Topic: add compiler option to make exe "large memory aware&quo (Read 8505 times)

Pelle,
is there a way to include an option to make Windows exes aware of large memory (WinXP /3GB boot.ini option)

I know that there is a little tool to do this, but saving this wit the project would be cleaner and easyer to handle.

Thanks for listening.

Use "Project" -> "Project options", "Macros" tab, and manually edit the "LINKFLAGS" macro (add /LARGEADDRESSAWARE option). This *should* work...

Sorry to bump old topic, but it is still relevant to me.
I also asked here?

There are polink option /LARGEADDRESSAWARE and /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:NO only.
Same as ms link.exe

Syntax:
/LARGEADDRESSAWARE [:NO]

Thanks, that worked!
I used /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:YES
