error 1705: Function prototypes are an ANSI feature - more problems

Richard Darling — Tue, 16 Sep 2003 16:43:36 GMT

The program was recoded in K&R c which I did, now we get the following error:

magnal:L1000>:cob -xve "" socketsHP.c -o my_rts
cob -C nolist -xve socketsHP.c -o my_rts
cob: Entry points defined in module: socketsHP.o sockets
cob: can not execute as
cob: error(s) in assembling /var/tmp/cobBAAa22504/ldtab.s

It seems that there is a problem with the as assembler program.
Any ideas appreciated. Richard

Is there a reason you can't download gcc and use that? The built-in compiler is not meant to be used for anything but kernel builds.

I don't know what this specific error is, but you could avoid all of these hassles by using gcc.

The problem has been resolved. it was an incorrect path to as; should have been /usr/ccs/bin/as. Thanks to all.
