 		 #179154 - It's not a shortcut!
Responding to: ???'s previous message

After compiling my c program, the files i get are prog.asm, prog.map, prog.syn , prog.rel, prog.mem and a shortcut

I very much soubt that it is a shortcut!

Presumably, it is a file with a .lnk extension?

Windows does, indeed, use the .lnk extension for its shortcut files - but this is almost certainly not a Windows shortcut!

Far more likely, it has something to do with the Linker - the SDCC documentation should tell you precisely what...

Note that this is the kind of thing I meant when I said that learning on an 8051 could complicate the issue: http://www.8052.com/forum/read/179148

All of this has nothing to do with 'C' as such, and is distracting you from the task of learning 'C'!
Hence the oft-repeated suggestion that it's probably better to first learn the 'C' programming Language on a PC (or similar), and then learn to apply that on the 8051...
