(...) ==bulk of message removed (...) I'm getting a compile error when building the dll utility - an undefined symbol 'O_ASYNC' forgive my ignorance but how do I fix this? Thanks in advance, -=RoboCoder=- (26 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Great! I was using Borland C++ 3.0 because I happened to have the diskettes around. Remember when a C++ compiler fit on 5 (five) 3.5 diskettes? I have no problem with keeping the existing filename structure. It's readable, it serves the (...) (26 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) I agree with your reasoning. The compiler I have decided to use (Watcom C/C++ v.11 from Powersoft) will compile from the platform I am developing on (NT 4) to the desired executing platform (DOS) and will use long file names just fine. Other (...) (26 years ago, 1-Nov-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Sorry, but I'm going to be stubborn on this one. I abhor short (often cryptic) filenames. In the NQC source tree, almost every class is in its own file, which is of course named after the class. So in a sense, truncating the filenames is more (...)

I hate to admit it, but the version of Turbo C++ I just pulled out is 1.00. I departed from the Borland compiler shortly after acquiring this version and did not keep up with advances. Would I gain any advantages by finding a later version, or (...) (26 years ago, 31-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) Yeah. Not sure about the hardware interface, though. Would it be possible to run the DOS executable to generate a binary and then download it otherwise? I too am not sure what this whole discussion is about- if it is just NQC, then it is (...) (26 years ago, 30-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos, lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics.rcx.pbforth)

(...) I tried to do a DJGPP build of binutils and it didn't work for me. I really didn't want to spend more time futzing with the tools, and I was already using Cygwin, so I used one of the precompiled toolsets. I think you are just a lazy typer, (...)

(...) Actually, lots of packages try to deal with filenames intelligently. QT, for example, has normal C++ NamingConventions, but uses lowercaseonly file names. I try to do the same. Notice how direct-sensor.h became dsensor.h in 0.2.0, as well as (...) (26 years ago, 30-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) Wes and Dave, I pulled out an ancient copy of Turbo C++ 3.0 for DOS. It compiles most of the code but chokes on the >8 character file names. I might have to try Microsoft VC++ next....to make a DOS executable. I also found a DOS C Comm library (...)
