Compiler error

[Tulio Adriano]

Hi! Anytime I try to compile a program, the compiler tells me an Unsuccesful message. Then it shows a memory debugger and this message:

INTERRUPT 0DH, GENERAL PROTECTION FAULT possible illegal address
error code = 0000

Even the simplest example give this error message. Can you help me?

Thank you!

This message above was posted by me, but I wasn't logged in. ;D

i dunno why the compiler is doing that. i'm assuming that having a blank program without any lines will cause the compiler to crash for you. the compiler has never given me this error, so i dunno where to start in my code =P. what os are you running? maybe i screwed up something in initialization, i know the initialization code is messy =D

Strange again, now look what happens:

I installed tomman unofficial setup, and it seems that that error was being caused by the wrong assembler.

Now I still getting the "Unsuccesful Compiled. Have a nice day" but now the message I get is different

I used the example Input.bex:

print "Whats your name?";
input a$
locate 2,0
print "Hello ";a$

And this was the return:

what os are you running? xp?
if you're running xp, then you'd need to download an updated version of snasm68k
the address is here devster.retrodev.com/sega/basiegaxorz/snasm68k_21d.zip

Woops, I forgot to tell. I am using the Windows XP at home and Windows 2000 here at work.

With this version of SNASM it worked perfectly.

Thank you, now hands to work!

i gotta fix that link in the compiler doc, it links to zophar.net, which has the wrong version of snasm =P. using th snasm68k from here devster.retrodev.com/sega/basiegaxorz/snasm68k_21d.zip will fix all your problems. the only issue is that it doesn't work wth windows 95, which isn't a problem for most people =)

edit: yay =D

i need to check that installer later... i added both SNASM68K versions, and some instructions to install appropiate version for each Windows plattform. I will check this later and release an updated installer if i found something "unusual"

--EDIT--: I did not found anything wrong in my installer., but if someone knows Inno Setup scripts, there are the lines used for install SNASM68K:


; SNASM68K 2.02 (292 KB), for Win9X/Me
Source: SNASM68K_a.EXE; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion; Components: bex_ide; DestName: SNASM68K.EXE; MinVersion: 1.0,0
; SNASM 2.1d (692 KB), for WinNT/2K/XP
Source: SNASM68K_w.EXE; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion; Components: bex_ide; DestName: SNASM68K.EXE; MinVersion: 0,1.0


This code worx OK... but is there any error?
