VAXCRTL.EXE and .OLB are part of the standard VMS Kit.  Most language
runtime libraries are included there (unless someone has specifically
deleted them from the target system).

Therefor, it is legitimate to link as you would on the machine you
are compiling on (and save the extra disk space fore someone else }8-)} )

1. Linker and sharable images under VAXC

Hello networlders:

I'm having a problem with linking a C program compiled with VAXC 3.1
under VMS 5.4.  My link command (which is in a .COM file) looks like:

$  link/exec = most  'files',sys$input/opt
SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL/SHARE

Where the symbol 'files' is all of the filenames (without extensions)
separated by commas.  The problem is that I want to create an executable
to move to another VMS machine that doesn't have VAXC.  I believe that
in order to do this I need to create an executable image using the
object library (i.e.  VAXCRTL.OLB) not the sharable image (i.e.
VAXCRTL.EXE).  However, no matter how I try, I cannot get the linker to
link using the object library.  I have tried both of the following (and
variations using the extension OLB) and they all result in multiple link
errors saying something to the effect of duplicate module found in
VAXCRTL.EXE.

$  link/exec = most  'files',sys$input/opt
SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL/LIB

$  link/exec = most  'files',SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL/LIB

I thought the problem was the sys$input/opt since there is an
SYS$SYSTEM:VAXCRTL.OPT that says SYS$LIBRARY:VAXCRTL/SHARE, but the
second command above should have fixed that.  There is obviously
something about the linker that I don't understand.

Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S.  Please don't tell me to RTFM, I'm not a system manager and I don't
      have a set of FM's :-(
