| The following options tell the linkers what type of application image to build. The following options are not needed if you include a module definition file in your compile and link commands that specifies the type of 32-bit application you intend to build, except for device drivers. If your target type is a device driver, the /ad option must be passed to the linker directly and can not be set in the module definition file. Link using 32-bit Windows API (Command-line switch = /aa) The linker generates a protected-mode executable that runs using the 32-bit Windows API. Link for 32-bit Windows device driver (Command-line switch = /ad) When you use this switch, the application type is set to NATIVE, and the image checksum is calculated and set. Link for 32-bit console application (Command-line switch = /ap) The linker generates a 32-bit protected-mode executable file that runs in console mode. Link 32-bit .DLL file (Command-line switch = /Tpd) The linker generates a 32-bit protected-mode Windows .DLL file. Link 32-bit .EXE file (Command-line switch = /Tpe) The linker generates a 32-bit protected-mode Windows .EXE file. |
