Executable File

The executable file produced by the Slim linker is a standard executable file for the operating system concerned. Typically, it will be produced by the local version of the GCC compiler. On a Unix system, this might mean that the C libraries will be dynamically linked with the executable at run-time. On a DOS system, the GO32 DOS Extender will be dynamically linked in and must be locatable via the current search path. The standard tools bundled with the DJGPP version of GCC can be used to combine GO32 with the executable produced by the Slim linker, to produce an executable that can run on any 386 or 486 system with at least 2 MB of RAM and himem.sys installed. If the system does not have a math co-processor, then EMU387 should be located together with GO32 and the environment variable GO32 should be set as follows
  set GO32 = emu
