Try adding "*" to the pointers like this:

Code:

//And make sure you've included acknex.h!
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
BMAP* first_pcx = "first.pcx"; // my first bmap
PANEL* first_pan = // my first panel
{
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
bmap = first_pcx;
flags = OVERLAY | SHOW;
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function main()
{
screen_size.x = 800;
screen_size.y = 600;
screen_color.blue = 150;
}

yes

Code:

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

BMAP* first_pcx = "first.pcx"; // my first bmap
PANEL* first_pan = // my first panel
{
pos_x = 0;
pos_y = 0;
layer = 1;
bmap = first_pcx;
flags = OVERLAY | SHOW;
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function main()
{
screen_size.x = 800;
screen_size.y = 600;
screen_color.blue = 150;
}
