Hi Kevin, your little example works fine for me on Ubuntu Hardy with sdcc 2.9.0. It compiles flawlessly, except that you have not specified a processor, so I ignore what kind of chip it is compiling the code for.
So I think you have two ways: switching to GNU/Linux for this task (you're free to do so), or ask someone who also has your OS, since I can't test your application on it. Maybe others can do so. Good luck. On Sun, May 3, 2009 at 1:46 AM, Kevin Zee <psy...@hughes.net> wrote: > I feel like an idiot...
