[comp.sys.apple] ORCA.C

KMILES@CC.USU.EDU ("Kurt Miles, VAX Consultant") (08/07/89)

I just got my ORCA/C compiler and I am having some problems.  Though maybe
someone out in netland could tell me what I am doing wrong, if anything.

1.   I seem to get the message that ORCA cannot open the 2/orcalib about
every 2nd or 3rd time I try to compile a program.  These are sample programs
straight out of the manual, or out of Kernigan and Ritchie, (2 Ed.) (Simple,
just above 'Hello, world'.  I haven't used C in a while).  Sometime they
compile, sometimes they on't, but the next time I try, with no changes to the
source, etc, it works fine.

2.  I tried compiling a program the other night that had compiled successfully.
I tried to compile with the statement 

	void main(void)
 
and I got a native memory code error.  (Don't have the numbers here).  I
then tried it with the statement

	main()

and it compiled fine.  Tried it both ways two or three times, and the results
were consistent.

Any ideas?  (I'm using GSOS 4, 1 MB ram, 3.5 floppy, factory configured
ORCA/C)

Did you try CATALOG 2 to see if the ORCALIB file is really there?

Not only did I check to see if it was there, I recopied the disk (once), 
recopied the file (three times), resequenced the libraries (three times),
and look every time.  It was still there.  

What was really frustrating was the fact that I could close the error dialog
window, and immediately compile to memory, and it wouold work just fine,
no changes to anything.

Huhhh?????

Try compiling to disk instead of memory.  There are still some bugs in the firs
t version but an upgrade is supposed to be out soon.
