Re: GCC and Windows 98

["Stef" <stef@email.address>]

In response to your query about the void __main(){} prototype and the exit()
function, these were at the suggestion of the readme file that came with the
native Hitachi SH2 development board.

Tried again with a simple for loop and no optimisation.  Guess what, same
Stack Fault.

In essence I am trying to compile the code for subsequent serial download to
an SH2 processor.  Unfortunately it doesn't compile at all (even as a simple
win32 'exe).  I've had it working in the past on other PC's and my colleague
has it working happily (exact same version) on his PC.  And I'm baffled.  I
can only conclude that there is a SW/HW conflict at a much lower level (I
sincerely hope not, and at the moment don't really count it as a viable
answer...).

I have again tried it with the previous response (as an -luser32 exe) but
again the exact same stack fault.

At a loose end here!

[Running Windows98, Gigabyte Motherboard, Celeron 400MHx, 10GB HDD and 64MB
RAM... shouldn't cause a problem I think?]

Thanks in advance,

Stef
