Hi,
can u point us to line 124??
I've encountered a similar error message before when i using HP-UX on Intel Itanium.
The compiler complained that i used a non-constant in a static array declaration...
char a[ maxLen ] ;
in the end, I had to malloc/calloc them... (since i didnt know how to tweak or instruct
the compiler to ignore such errors... since the code was already old and compilable on
other hp-ux platforms)

Hi,
It has been a LONG TIME since I've done any programming in C. I have two old programs still in use which were developed on msdos, using the "Mark Williams Let's C" compiler. We're talking 1980's stuff here.
Anyway, I thought to try to port them to linux. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Here are the relevant portions of indatax.c:
char *namectrl = NULL; char *name1 = NULL; char *name2 = NULL;
typedef struct { char *var; /* destination for storage of the data */ size_t len; /* max len of the data */ char *(*xlat)(); /* translation routine */ } DATUM;
DATUM recip_data[] = { { namectrl, NAMECTRL_LEN, make_upper }, { name1, NAME1_LEN, make_upper }, { name2, NAME2_LEN, make_upper }, [...]
And these are the errors...
indatax.c:124: initializer element is not constant indatax.c:124: (near initialization for `recip_data[0].var') indatax.c:125: initializer element is not constant indatax.c:125: (near initialization for `recip_data[1].var') indatax.c:126: initializer element is not constant indatax.c:126: (near initialization for `recip_data[2].var') [...]
gcc version 2.95.3
