Re: [Beginner] Parsing errors compiling headers

["Matt Minnis" <mminnis at prefres dot com>]

What I have done to "solve" this problem is use a search/replace of all the 
.c & .h files and replacing the CRLF with a LF.
This way I have all I need to work, I don't have to do that much, just run 
the script on the directory tree and try it again.

Thanks,

Matt Minnis
