If you look at the code, it's a CPP #define function. GCC is being passed a file ending in s with a small s. It sees a small s extension meaning do not run through the preprocessor and a captial S as meaning do. I don't remember how (or if :) I fixed it, but that was the cause. > --------------------------------------- Making in compat/bsd > gcc @../../../gcc.opt -I. -I- -I../../../../include -c bcmp.c > gcc @../../../gcc.opt -I. -I- -I../../../../include -c bcopy.c > gcc @../../../gcc.opt -I. -I- -I../../../../include -c bzero.c > as -o index.o index.s > index.s: Assembler messages: > index.s:3: Error: invalid character '(' in opcode > make.exe: *** [index.o] Error 1 -- "DeHackEd" My Email address in the header is fake (spammers).
