Hi,
I am new to compiling in dos/windows/intel. I have some code which have a lot of
"far" keywords in them. How can i compile those with digital mars in win2k?
I have version 8.31 of digital mars.

Here's a typical error message that i get:

D:\uCOS\TANKCODE>dmc -c dbgmain.c
static void interrupt far (*OldTickISR)(void);
^
dbgmain.c(151) : Error: voids have no value; ctors, dtors and invariants have no
return value
OldTickISR = getvect(0x08);
^
dbgmain.c(175) : Error: undefined identifier 'OldTickISR'


Thanks in advance,
Sushank

When the ^ is at the beginning of the line, it usually means the error is on the previous line. Also, what memory model are you planning on using?

The ^ actually points to the far keyword, sorry i got that wrong when i did
the copy paste and i didn't had a second look.
It looks like this:

static void interrupt far (*OldTickISR)(void);
^
dbgmain.c(151) : Error: voids have no value; ctors, dtors and invariants have no
return value
OldTickISR = getvect(0x08);
^
dbgmain.c(175) : Error: undefined identifier 'OldTickISR'           ^

I plan to use the small memory model.

It looks like text gets wrapped when i post my message. Sorry for that, i moved the ^ sign to its proper places in my previous reply. Hope it works this time.

Compile with the -ms flag to enable the far keyword. Also, use __far and __interrupt instead (two _'s).

Thanks,
Compiling with -ms flag solved the problem.

cheers :)
