The problem was that I had a # character in my directory name.
The compiler thought that when it reached the # character in the directory name that it was the beginning of a file name and gave a invalid link file name error.
Ah, yes, Watcom often has a difficult time dealing with path names that aren't like the old DOS types.
Matt: ver. 4.1 The trace display colors are messed up.
When some lines are high-lighted the color is the same as other text on the line. This makes the lines that are high lighted on unreadable. Colors look washed out. Maybe the bins were compiled using Linux Colors ? I went back to the previous release and the colors are the normal window colors.
Yes, I see what you mean. The colors look correct in Linux, but in windows, they're incorrect. As a workaround, you might try using trace(2) instead of trace(1). It's monochrome, so you don't get the syntax highlighting, but you'll be able to see the lines, at least.
I've opened ticket:673.
