[comp.sys.atari.st] Prospero C/ STE

johnb@geech.gnu.ai.mit.edu (John Bunch) (03/25/91)

Greetings all...

I have an atari 1040STe and have noticed some strange problems using
prospero C on it..  I have 4 megs of ram..  It seems when I compile I
get an internal compiler error.  The documentation says to contact
prospero, but all I got was an answering  machine...  I do have a
registered version of the software.   Is there a known problem with
Prospero and the STe?  If so, is prospero working on an STe version/or
patch to the current version?  I like the compiler and would like to
be able to use it again...  Any info would be appreciated...

John

P.S.  Prospero C is fully Ansi Compatible...

I'd check what desk accessories and auto programs you are running. I've found
that their compilers are very fussy about these things. I can't use Quick St
for example or Neodesk 3.0 with either their Fortran or C compilers or I have
to reboot after each compile (yecch).

Bob,

   Thanx for your reply, but I found out what the problem was.  It
seems that prospero C wanted the date set.  It did not like that fact
that on bootup my date is 00-00-128 00:00:00, so I got a program to
set my date automagically.  I have had no problems though using it
with Quick ST 2.10?  It works again...

John.
