I can't compile it

[Lorenzo Paulatto]

I am trying to compile v 2.20 unofficial on linux (as v 2.10 tarball has capital names that mess up everything). I get this error:

gcc -c  -I. -DHAVE_STRING=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD=1 -DHAVE_RAISE=1 -g -ansi bwbasic.c
bwbasic.c:54: error: initializer element is not constant
make: *** [bwbasic.o] Error 1

[Paul Edwards]

That problem has been fixed in bwbasic 2.30 which can be found at:

http://gccmvs.sourceforge.net

Here's the specific patch required:
