Hi all,
I was working with the 2nd lite-c work shop when it told me to test run the make-shift calculator. It then said "Can't comile". Is there something wrong with my preferences, code? If anyone knows what i'm doing wrong that would be great. Heres the code i'm using:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

var a = 0;
var b = 0;
var c = 0;

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

PANEL* panDisplay =
{
digits(35, 10, "a = %0.f", *, 1, a);
digits(35, 19, "b = %0.f", *, 1, b);
digits(35, 28, "c = %0.f", *, 1, c);
flags = VISIBLE;
}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function main()
{
video_mode = 7; // create a program window of 800x600 pixels
screen_color.blue = 150; // and make its background dark blue
while (1)
{
c = a + b;
wait (1);
}
}

The example you posted runs like a charm on my system. No compiler errors or warnings. Ensure you saved the file as .c file, not as .wdl file. Additionally have a look if this script is really the one that won't compile. You can press Alt + F5 to make the current script the one that is taken as the main script.

Other than that your program won't do anything sensefull. As you declared a,b and c as zero the numbers will never change at all.

dont forget to include the #include <acknex.h>
else it dont knows the lite-c stuff

THIS. Jesus the number of time's I've fallen foul of my old ways!

Thanks guys,
I just had to change it to a c. file. (Duh!)

*lol* Happened a few times to me. For any reasons SED always saves as a.wdl file, when not explicitely writing .c in the save dialog. :-)
