Compiling C with VMware

(1/4) > >>

mschneider:
I'm trying to learn how to code in C. So i wrote a very simple plugin and tried to compile it in the VMware image using "cc file.c"
I get a ton of errors when compiling and get no output file (no surprise there).
I even just tried writing a simple helloworld

--- Code: ---main()
{
    printf("Hello, world\n")
}
--- End code ---

I get all of the same errors. Is the VMware image just not set up to compile like that (if it isn't does anyone have any suggestions about what i could use to compile) or am i doing something wrong?

saratoga:
Depends what the error is.  If its " error: expected ; before } token", then its because you didn't put a semicolon after you printf statement.

Since the vmware image can compile rockbox, I doubt the c compiler is broken.  If adding the semicolon doesn't fix it, post the log from your command window.

sorry, there was a semicolon there (i wasnt copy/pasting my code). Here are the errors i get:

tdtooke:
Do you have #include stdio.h in there somewhere?

mschneider:
Why should i have to? Its just a simple printf statement.
