[Coco] C Compiler Problems

[Stephen H. Fischer]

Hi,

Try reading this thread:

Tandy CoCo OS-9 "C" Compiler
http://www.tandycoco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=527#p527

You have lots to learn, "MAKE" is the best way, but

CC (C executive) (cc_2_5_2.lzh)

does what "MAKE" tells it to do. Understanding CC is necessary.

There is only one "C" compiler, the one that was released for level I.

Do not bother about with c.comp!

As for an editor, Colorful Sled is the one I developed, but I suggest doing 
your editing on windows using

ConTEXT Freeware Text Editor
http://www.tandycoco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=241#p241

You have asked many questions, try again after reading about the "C" 
compiler in my thread. That hopefully will increase your understanding.

SHF
