line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
Hi All
I've used UNIX in the past experimenting with commands through terminal but thats about it. Im now currently teaching myself "C".
Using a book from the library, the first chapter asks you run and compile your program from a command-line prompt. As you will see the program is very simple, please see below, but I am scratching my head as to why there is any problem with this when running this through UNIX. I coded the below with a textEdit and I am also using Xcode and it builds succesfully, but when I put it through UNIX I get the following
./hello.c: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `('
./hello.c: line 3: `int main (void)'
I have searched your forums and Google and although there is much regarding the title, none covers something so simple as this one. I would very much appreciate if you could advice me what this is?
Many thanks for your time and reading,
Camzio

tk_main
Tk_Main(3) Tk Library Procedures Tk_Main(3)
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
NAME
Tk_Main - main program for Tk-based applications
SYNOPSIS
#include <tk.h>
Tk_Main(argc, argv, appInitProc)
ARGUMENTS
int argc (in) Number of elements in argv.
char *argv[] (in) Array of strings containing command-line arguments.
Tcl_AppInitProc *appInitProc (in) Address of an application-specific initialization procedure. The value for this argument is
usually Tcl_AppInit.
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
Tk_Main acts as the main program for most Tk-based applications. Starting with Tk 4.0 it is not called main anymore because it is part of
the Tk library and having a function main in a library (particularly a shared library) causes problems on many systems. Having main in the
Tk library would also make it hard to use Tk in C++ programs, since C++ programs must have special C++ main functions.
Normally each application contains a small main function that does nothing but invoke Tk_Main. Tk_Main then does all the work of creating
and running a wish-like application.
When it is has finished its own initialization, but before it processes commands, Tk_Main calls the procedure given by the appInitProc
argument. This procedure provides a ``hook'' for the application to perform its own initialization, such as defining application-specific
commands. The procedure must have an interface that matches the type Tcl_AppInitProc:
typedef int Tcl_AppInitProc(Tcl_Interp *interp);
AppInitProc is almost always a pointer to Tcl_AppInit; for more details on this procedure, see the documentation for Tcl_AppInit.
