Help! I am a fortran programmer trying to learn C using the sozobon/dlibs
package. I can't get the compiler to work on the following hello world
program:
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("hello world, its me!!!\n");
}
I am using a floppy based 520ST with the binaries in ram disk d: with
gulam as the shell. From d: when I type
make a:hello.tos
I get: make:Error code -33. When I try to make from a:\sozobon\bin I get
make:Don't know how to make a:hello.tos. When I type
cc a:hello.c -o a:hello.tos I get cc:compiler failed.
I'm sure that I'm doing something basic (and simple) incorrectly. If anyone
can offer help, it would be greatly appreciated.
Peter.

Of course you can't compile the program. The proper syntax for this program is: main() { printf("hello world\n"); } (Note most compilers check to make sure that is all you can print 'hello world') <grin> - mike -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Double Click Me | Double Click Software | P.O.

Many thanks to all who responded to my plea for help. It is quite gratifying to get so much help from so many so fast! Thanks! It turned out that the problem was twofold: 1. I didn't have enough memory in my half meg machine for a 200K ramdisk + gulam + the running of the compiler. 2. Gulam wasn't interpreting make a:hello.tos as I thought -- it wanted make a:\hello.tos. (Didn't recognize a: as part of the path). Again, thanks to all who responded. Peter. (usermeso@mtsg.ubc.ca)

When I type >cc a:hello.c -o a:hello.tos I get cc:compiler failed. The Atari requires the backslash character between the drive specifier and the directory, thusly: a:\hello.c No doubt your problems will disappear when you specify the filename correctly. In addition, if your makefile is set up properly, you shouldn't need a drive specifier at all. If your rule looks like hello.tos : hello.c cc -o hello.tos then the command "make hello.tos" should be sufficient, assuming your environment specifies the correct search path to find the compiler and the libraries. Hope this helps.
