Hi All, 'am new to C51 compilier and I got this error message which I would like anybody familiar with C51 to help me out with a good suggestion on how to solve it: C51 FATAL-ERROR- ACTION: ALLOCATING MEMORY ERROR: MEMORY SPACE EXHAUSTED C51 TERMINATED Compilation Failure Thanks for your anticipated help. Yemi
"am new to C51 compilier" But 4.01 is an extremely old version? Why start with something so far out-of-date?! The error sounds like your PC has insufficient memory. What is your PC spec - RAM, OS, etc?
Thanks. my PC has 128mb RAM , with 10GB hard disk. 'am actually porting a Terminal application to the ingenico ELITE 730-16 POS.
C51 V4 used a DOS extender to allocate more memory from extended (XMS) and expanded ()(EMS) memory areas. Make sure that if you run this version under Windows that you specify these memory types in a PIF file for C51. The Memory tab in the PIF Properties allows you to specify these settings. Now there's a way back machine answer for you. Jon
Sounds to me like all the more reason to use a proper up-to-date tool!
No, you better hang onto that version 4 code. We've already got a couple of PCs in the office with 4 gig of RAM. If we don't get wider address bus support in the hardware and OS, we'll be right back to needing memory extenders soon... Darn those dinky 32-bit segment registers in the 386. Who thought that was a good idea?
Thank you all. I have traced the problem to the size of the one of the c source files being compiled. To overcome the problem , the large have been split to 2 and linked together. The problem is over and I have succefully downloaded the resulting appliaction into the terminal.Thank you all.
