error

[pacman169]

Hello,

Getting error when trying to compile a C program:

  g++ Documents/firstchess.c
Documents/firstchess.c:18:19: fatal error: conio.h: No such file or directory
 #include <conio.h>

[jlb]

That error seems very simple. What exactly don't you understand? It appears to me that your modern compiler doesn't use this ancient DOS header file.

[giblit]

That is because conio is non-standard and is not supported by all compilers.

[pacman169]

Yep, but I want to get that program to work. Thx

[giblit]

Then either get a new different compiler or use a standard library.

[pacman169]

Use a standard library?

How?

[AbstractionAnon]

What is it you're trying to use conio.h for?

Can't tell you how to use a standard library if we don't know what you're using in <conio.h>.

[pacman169]

I don`t know because I have not written the code, which is btw too long to be posted here. Here is the source: http://devwebcl.atarionline.pl/cc65/

If you haven't written the code, then why do you need the <conio.h> header?

[pacman169]

I don`t need it, it is included in the code. The program just doesn`t compile.

 g++ Documents/firstchess.c
Documents/firstchess.c:18:19: fatal error: conio.h: No such file or directory
 #include <conio.h>
                   ^
compilation terminated.

btw if you want to look at the code just download firstchess.c from the link I posted above.

> I don`t need it
then don't include it.

Here is the problem: if I remove it then I get this error message:

if you want to look at the code just download firstchess.c from the link I posted above.

Can't access that link from work.

Those warnings have nothing to do with <conio.h>
