I've been using a particular set of C-code for years on several systems (mostly linux on PC, or Unix on some Sun) and could always get it to work when I moved to a new machine. Now, I'm trying to get it to work on a PC with cygwin. cygcheck claims I have gcc version 3.3.3-3 OK. I am NOT an experienced C or cygwin user, but the problems I keep running into, appear to me that gcc with cygwin behaves very differently from whatever I had on the previous systems. gcc -g -Wall -c flm.c flm.c:37: error: initializer element is not constant make: *** [flm.o] Error 1 The offending line.37 was: FILE *ch_par=stdout,*ch_verify=NULL; In my ignorance, I have to assume that gcc/cygwin is not compatible with other cc implementations. Can that be? Or could I have a botched installation of cygwin+gcc? I'd appreciate any guidance! Norbert Nemes __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
