   Trouble compiling Worldgroup 1.01   
   21 Aug 13 10:22:50   
   
   From: blixel@gmail.com   
      
   I recently got the itch to tinker with the old MBBS stuff. I went through   
   v6.25 and was able to get it installed and working, and was able to install   
   Borland C++ 3.1, RUN286, and was able to compile everything without too much   
   difficulty.   
      
   I wanted to see if the same process would work for Worldgroup 1.01 and WG 2.0.   
   I updated the compiler to Borland C++ 4.52, but when I run makebbs, I get all   
   kinds of errors. To narrow down the problem, I took a look at makebbs.bat and   
   decided to run the    
   make statements one at a time so I could see the errors without having them   
   pass off the top of the screen.   
      
   What I'm getting is:   
      
   C:\WGSERV\SRC>make -fbbsrpt   
   MAKE Version 3.7 Copyright (c) 1987, 1994 Borland International   
      
   32loader runtime error: Unhandled exception   
      
   Exception 0E at 0197:00007A00 error code 00000007   
      
   ...then it goes on from there with a bunch of hex... followed by   
      
   The invalid instruction was executed at 00007A00   
      
   I think the problem may be that I don't have all the necessary paths in my   
   \BORLANDC\BIN\TURBOC.CFG and \BORLANDC\BIN\TLINK.CFG   
      
   My TURBOC.CFG is as follows:   
   -IM:\BC452\INCLUDE   
   -LM:\BC452\LIB   
   -I\BC452\INCLUDE;\RUN286\INC;\WGSERV\SRC   
   -L\BC452\LIB;\RUN286\BC4\LIB;\WGSERV\DLIB   
      
      
   My TLINK.CFG is as follows:   
   -LM:\BC452\LIB   
   -L\BC452\LIB;\RUN286\BC4\LIB;\WGSERV\DLIB   
      
   Unfortunately I don't have any documentation for WG 1.01 or WG 2.0, so I'm not   
   sure what I'm missing. Can anyone help?
