1. Watcom compile error for certain file names
Hello Rob,
it looks as if there is a bug in the Eu2C translator 2.5, or in the Open
Watcom 1.3 C compiler. Please note that the problem doesn't seem to
depend on the content of the Euphoria source file, but only on its name.
The following code compiles fine:
----------------------------[ test.ex ]-------------------------------
puts(1, "Hello world!\n\nPress Enter ...")
if getc(0) then end if
----------------------------------------------------------------------
when using
ec -wat ...
or
ecw -wat ...
But after renaming the file e.g. to "test(1).ex", both commands can't be
used anymore for compiling.
I did not encounter this problem using DJGPP on DOS or the Borland
compiler on Windows (LCC not tested, and nothing tested on Linux/FreeBSD).
It would be nice if this problem could be fixed.
Regards,
Juergen

Juergen:
Ephoria translator probably thinks "test(1).ex"
is a function/procedure name called test().

It looks like the Watcom linker doesn't like filenames with brackets
in them. I'll make a note of this, but I have a lot of other higher
priority stuff to get moving on.
