He doesn't need c.o, he has cres.o.  cres.o replaces c.o.

_DOSbase is not a macro.  How could you link a macro into your program?  I agree
with the earlier poster who suggested using a WITH file to shorten the command
line, which is limited to 256 in LMK.  I use the following:

foo:  $(FOOOBJS)
   echo "Linking FOO..."
   blink with <<
      $(FOOOBJS)
      lib lib:lc.lib lib:amiga.lib
      ...whatever other options you want...
<

This creates a temporary file with the BLINK options in it, and executes BLINK
with the temp file as a WITH file.
