How to create OS/2 PM applications?(Leonid Dulman)

[dulman]

   I had no any problems with Os/2 PM applications in GNAT 2.0
After RC <program>.res <program>.exe I got program to PM.
But in GNAT 3.x I can't  create this file and by RC (SYS3175 A program
generated an access violation at 1bd32dfa PMMERGE.DLL)
and by commands (adae.cmd):
@echo  Creation Pm exe file
call gnatbl -o  %1.exe  %1.ali
call emxbind -bp -d%1.def -r%1.res d:\gnat30\bin\emxl.exe %1.exe
emxbind:The input and output files have the same name
after command
call emxbind -bp -d%1.def -r%1.res d:\gnat30\bin\emxl.exe %1.exe new.exe
emxbind: invalid a.out file (header)

I used <name forgotten> PM bindings from the contrib section of
the gnat libraries to compile a few sample programs. I only did
straight 'gcc', 'gnatbl' and didn't fiddle with resources or
anything. I had to fiddle with some source in the demo that
worked with 2.04, but not with 3.01, but once I did that every-
thing worked just fine. Back when fiddling with 2.04 I tried
some of the examples with resources and didn't get them to work.
I haven't had time to fiddle further. If I can I'll let you know.

I think your mistake is putting the ".exe" on the gnatbl command. Try

call gnatbl -o  %1  %1.ali
call emxbind -bp -d%1.def -r%1.res d:\gnat30\bin\emxl.exe %1

emxbind dosen't like an exe file as input and will generate an exe file
on output without being told.

Also, I have used either the "-bp" option,
or the ".def" file to make a PM application as independant methods.
