[aclug-L] Re: comiling c++ in redhat 7.1

["Adam Erickson" <adam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Their could be many different reasons for this.  Without having the code
handy it's very difficult to troubleshoot something like this.  If that
isn't possible then the errors generated would be the second choice.
Without either, I can only offer some hints:

Check the memory managment routines.  If the program was designed for true
DOS mode then they're probably doing a lot to get around the 64k memory
address limits.

Many new programmers don't even know what ASM is.  But if your code was
written for DOS you might check for inline assembly.  This would almost
certainly not work under linux.  Of course, it's a rather taboo practice
these days so this might not be an issue.

Are they using custom libraries that you haven't been provided or haven't
yet compiled first?  Do those libs suffer from any of the aforementioned
problems?

Of course, if it uses anything windows oriented you might as well throw it
away.

Obviously, I haven't touched BC++ since version 3.1 :)  (which I still have
btw)

Hope it helps,
