The issues I saw are simple enough, but I didn't go past them, so I'm not sure if there more than these. The newer complier flags cause the older compiler to choke. That is easy enough to fix with some !IFDEF in the make file. I think we should add a macro to define the compiler in use and base the flag construction on that. The /Wp64 flag is one example. Then there were some code issues. The first one should be cleaned up anyway. It was a case of several void functions returning a value. Forget exactly where, but I can rediscover it quickly enough later this morning. I'll get your advice when I can give you the exact spot. You had a comment about returning something, but it didn't quite make sense to me. So, I wasn't sure if you did mean to return something, or did mean to not return anything. I stopped there becasue I was just doing a quick check. > Extensions built with older levels should not be an issue.

I'll compile with 6.0 later this morning and fix everything, unless I run into something unexpected. -- Mark Miesfeld ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
