How do I compile this tiny C program?

#1 Post by sc0ttman »

I have tried to compile the C program below many times, with many different gcc commands, and I always get an error saying 'undefined reference to `main'..

Here's the source code of the program:

I got it to compile by commenting out lines 25, 195 & 260.

(By adding // to start of those respective lines)

Whoops, should be 25, 194 & 259.

Code: Select all

//#define putchar(c) outbyte(c)
...
...
...
//#ifdef TEST_PRINTF
...
...
...
//#endif

Combination of some c progging, last century, some c++ this century, bit of google, reading the devs comments, and process of elimination.
