Fixup overflow

[ChimpFace9000]

Im trying to link an assembly obj file with my c app and these are the errors im gettting...

Fixup overflow in module main.c at _TEXT:000B, target = _setmode
Fixup overflow in module main.c at _TEXT:0004, target = _setmode

Anyone know how to stop these?

What compiler, linker, assembler?

Which output .obj formats are you using for the .c and .asm sources?

The assembly file im compiling with MASM. The c file with Turbo C 2.01. They are both in the proper format for dos object files. Then i run both object files through tcc so it will link them together. That is when i get the error from the Turbo Linker. Im doing it this wasy because im using a make file.

You're sure they're both 16-bit?
Other than that, not much idea, really.

It probably has to do with the model you selected in Turbo C.
Try using a larger model. Go into Options > Compiler > Model
and set it to something > 'Small' when you compile the Turbo C component. I am assuming the TC module is that base module.

A fixup refers to re-setting the address of the entry point and the addresses in the module - it's an address offset calculation.

Overflow means that the calculated address is not within the allowed limits for addresses. You see this when you mix stuff with far pointers into a small memory module, for example.

Changing the model to large fixed that problem, but when i run it i get an illegal operation error.
