Hi Eliot,

Thanks for the help.

No pressure.

I only want help from those who are willing to help.

Those who are NOT interested may kindly ignore my messages.

There is no obligation at all.

The issues I highlighted have been a recurring problem on Google.

So, there is a recurring pattern emerging and perhaps this thread could solve it once and for all.

As for what I am using it for, I am trying to complete a book called Modern C.

I wish to finish it.

Thank you.

Kind Regards,
YEO Kai Wei

Install the relevant gcc and program building packages.
But I think you're reaching the limit of the handholding
the community may be prepared to offer ...

Also, you never said what you're *really* trying to
accomplish.
