- Hello,
-
- I bought my first compiler yesterday and it is the SAS/C. I have played
- aroung with it at a friend's machine, trying my first C programs (from the
- K&R). I liked the environment and the comfort of the utilities that much,
- that I decided to buy a product, even if it is not longer supported by the
- manufacturer. Another reason was, that it is still bugfixed by the
- programmers. Thanks !
-
- Now I have applied all patches upto 6.56 and have some questions:
- (especially to the programmers of SAS/C who are reading this group)
-
- ╖ I will soon get a CD-ROM with the official OS3.1 includes from AT (on a
- german Amiga Mag's CD). Now I have noticed, that during the update
- processes, some standard includes were also processed. Shall I never
- replace my SAS/C includes ? (Besides that, there is a slightly newer
- release on some Fish CD-ROM)
-
- ╖ Is there an option to setup/define the size of the scsmsg error browser?
- I have it automatically start when starting my editor's C setup. The
- windowsizes are not ideal for me. Also I am missing an option to make
- the close button only hide, not exit the browser utility.
-
- ╖ After compiling a very simple example from the K&R
- (Fahrenheit2Celsius.c) and compiling it such as descriped in the
- according chapters for the debugger in the docs I wanted to try out the
- debugging. I shift clicked the Debug along with the Exe and got a Red
- Alert. This also happens with "Hello World.c" and all other programs I
- have tried. The debugger opens a CON, opens its screen, a window on it,
- which says: "<No source>" and the machine crashes. But - the source _is_
- in current directory, I also copyied the stdio.h (to go sure) to this
- dir. No way, I get bad crashes. I was never able to run the debugger :-(
- I do not use any MWB icons with ╗╗╗ Icon by Martin etc. ½½½½ in it.
- I launched from the original SAS icon.
-
- If there should be interest, I will send a full report of my
- system-setup to one of the programmers. Please reply here or e-mail me,
- thanks.
-
-
- Some other thing would be of interest for me: I can not get the examples of
- the K&R (2nd edition) be compiled. I get an error 73, but if I leave out
- the stdio_protos or the stio.h this produces an error as well. How can I
- avoid this ? I did not find a solution in the manual. The program I am
- talking about is on the beginning of the book, when it comes to putchar()
- (the simple copy examples).
