Pmake command isn't working



If you get the following error when running pmake:

goc -DDO_ERROR_CHECKING -D__GEOS__ -IMYFILE -Ic:/PCGEOS/jdoe/MYFILE 
 -Ic:/PCGEOS/N9000V11//CInclude -Ic:/PCGEOS/N9000V11/CInclude  -I.

The system cannot execute the specified program

The problem is most likely that the Borland compiler is not
being found. Check to see that you have the following set in
your environment (access the environment from Control Panel ->
System -> Environment):

CCOM=@dosfront bcc       [this is probably the cause of "The System
                          cannot find the program specified", because
			  you get that error when you pass too many
			  arguments to a 16-bit app]
GOC_COMPILER_DIR=c:\bc45 [or whatever your compiler's main directory is]
