I am delving into the world of Linux (I have abandoned BSD and Windows but keeping my Mac) and I am having trouble compiling NQC in Caldera's OpenLinux 2.2 for i386. A basic output of the errors I am seeing: gcc -c -O6 -pipe -m486 -Iplatform (...) (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) NQC 1.3 is pretty minor... inline functions can be used before they are defined. I added abs() and sign() support. Technically they are not functions, but are operators with a function syntax (like sizeof in C). A couple new functions (...) (26 years ago, 28-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

In browsing the rcx.nqh file, I found that the SMODE_CELSIUS input mode constant is misspelled with a 'c' instead of an 's'. Jonathan (26 years ago, 27-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc)

(...) "if (Random(100) == 0)" used to be a compiler error, but version 1.2 of NQC is smart enough to generate a temporary variable to hold the random number. A trickier problem is Sleep(). Sleep(Random(100)) parses just fine. Since Sleep() is just a (...) (26 years ago, 31-Mar-99, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.nqc, lugnet.robotics)
