Stdlib.h:130: syntax error before `int'

SDL Development
1

I installed gcc as a cross compiler using Ray Kelm’s instructions
(http://www.libsdl.org/Xmingw32/crossgcc/index.html). The installation
was successfull and I’m able to compile simple programs for win32
platform now. Next I tried to compile simple SDL examples like
xflame-1.0 and some others, but kept getting these weird errors. My gcc
prefix is /home/omegas/cross-utils and I use a script "cross-configure"
to invoke the configure scripts. Here’s the script:

PATH=/home/omegas/cross-tools/bin:/home/omegas/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/bin:$PATH

./configure --cache-file=config.cross.cache
–host=i386-mingw32msvc
–target=i386-mingw32msvc
–build=i386-linux
$*

Here’s a try at compiling xflame-1.0:

[omegas at omegas xflame-1.0]$ cross-configure

make: *** [xflame.o] Error 1

Any ideas of what is causing this? I can compile and link simple
programs using stdlib.h and time.h so they should be functional?
Something wrong with the configure script I’m using?

Maybe you should try ‘cross-make’ instead of make ?

Hope this helps.

Ehh… It did the job. =) The Makefiles produced by the cross-configure
script all have “CC=gcc” so I’ve been trying to use the wrong compiler
all the time… Thanks a bunch!
