> Hi, I am a new user of gnu, running under Solaris. I have written a simple
> program in windows (compiled using Borland C++ Builder 5) which compiles
> and runs correctly. I transferred the file to our Sun workstation and
> tried to compile it using our newly set up gnu compiler (command used is
> "gcc nonul.c"). I am getting heaps of errors that didn't exist in my
> windows program. I have a feeling that some of the errors are to do with
> the file format, ie carriage returns or linefeeds or something.

> 1. give me an idea of what these errors are and how to fix them
> 2. I have most of the documentation for gnu (make, automake, extensions)
> but I cannot find anywhere any documents that talk about compiler error
> messages and what they mean, can you direct me to such documentation.
