Hi all,
Wrote a program in 1999 and it all worked fine
I have just this afternoon downloaded DJGPP
and Allegro from DJ's Zip Picker site and installed
it all, and run make within the Allegro folder and 
Make install too. Try to compile my program and get

balls.cpp(62) Error: invalid conversion from `void (*)(...)' to
`void*'

with this line in my code highlighted

LOCK_FUNCTION(my_timer_handle);


balls.cpp(63) Error: invalid conversion from `void (*)(...)' to `void
(*)()'

with this line in my code highlighted

install_int(my_timer_handle, 1000);

my_timer_handle is declared just before the main function thusly

void my_timer_handle(...)
{
   last_fps = frames;
   frames = 0;
}

END_OF_FUNCTION(my_timer_handle);


I have just been in to the allegro\demo folder and compiled the source
file there with no problems.

Any ideas,

Kevin.
