using mac osx oh, as for the apostrophe topic: the .c file is this: #include <string.h> char str1[10]; void main(void) { strcpy(str1, "testing"); } i dont see any apostrophes, isn't this (') what would make sense as producing that error.. i understand i am still a little unfamiliar with some syntaxes, dont know what the apostrophes is about. i then did the snapshot suggestion in terminal: COMPUTER:~ myname$ cd ~/FOLDER/FOLDER/ COMPUTER:~/FOLDER/FOLDER myname$ ~/FOLDER/FOLDER/sdcc/bin/sdcc test.c test.c:24:10: warning: backslash-newline at end of file test.c:1: warning 190: ISO C forbids an empty source file test.c:1: parse error: token -> '{' ; column 1 ok bros, even afterwards, i opened the test.c and it had text in it ("ISO C forbids an empty source file"), if ur guys' compilers are working, there must be some solution.. i think i provided all the relevant information i can, if there's anything else i can tell you, i will. oh, i have xcode on the computer, (installed it after the first version of sdcc, before the snap version), i installed it to compile glut as recommended by the mac dev site. bye ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
