[Oberon] Oberon 3 on Windows 7, PELinker, Windows executable

[Chris Burrows]

Hi Dieter,

Read Chapter 6.6 "Building EXE and DLL Executable Files with Oberon" in the Oberon UserGuide (Docu/UserGuide.Text) for information on how to use PELinker.Tool

If you follow those instructions and get stuck let me know how far you got and I'll see if I can help. I would recommend proceeding step by step e.g.:

1. Start with the simple sample that they provide and confirm that you can get that working
2. Write a simple example that accepts filenames as command-line parameters and confirms that the input file exists and checks that the output file doesn't exist.
3. Start working on your actual application,

Regards,
Chris

Hi,

I am new to this list, but do have some 20 years experience with Oberon on Windows. 
Still there are things which I do not fully understand, e.g. PELinker and Oberon debugger.

Right now I am working on an application which translates MusicXML (a proprietary language to describe musical notes) into another input language, called PMX, which in turn generates TeX-code for typesetting notes.

Is there anywhere out in Cyber Space someone, who could give me a helping hand on how to use PELinker in order to transform an Oberon-Module into a Windows *.exe, so that I can call it from the WIndows command line in the following form:
myprogram.exe "path to input file" "path to output file"

Thanks and regards,
Dieter
