[ ... ] If you do not have the headers that come with commercial compilers and assemblers or from Commodore, the 'complete' make target on the version For code that is restricted to the set of library functions provided with PDC.lib and Math.lib, just type 'make' and you'll end up with an amiga.lib that will work fine. That includes "hello, world" and anything else that is portable C. If you are still having problems, send me email and we can work them out. Also, if anyone else is having problems with PDC, let me know. Seriously, I get very little feedback on it and tend to set it on the shelf when other things get hectic. The PDC Software Distribution is a fairly massive piece of work, and unpleasant to manage on an Amiga w/o a hard drive (something I hope to remedy now that I'm working for real $), so it can sit for quite a while until I get poked with something that needs to be done with it. -- < Lionel ----------- Lionel Hummel [H] (217) 356-6379 Motorola Microcomputer Division, Urbana Design Center [W] (217) 384-8511 lhummel@urbana.mcd.mot.com uiucuxc!udc!lhummel uiucdcs!large!lionel
