I finally got the source to compile. I am using GCC-2.95-2 as stated in anoter message. The executable i get will not run my test mission. It runs the mission that is supplied, but my mission generated a DR.Watson error. I will look into this futhor but i wanted to see if i did somthing whong when i compiled it. I make both Fcomm and Fcommx V0.36.
I am also getting a title screen after the mission. Looks good :)

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Update. The problem is connected to fleet #2 (fed.fc). If i remove this from the mission file, it functions normaly. I tried all possable ship numbers and nothing seems to work. I will play with it a little and see if i can narrow it down some more before posting a big.
Question-I noticed that the caterpiller Aliens scanning has changed from the Origional Fcomm. The way it is now, all cones are facing forward. The origonal way was that each body segment had a cone to the left and right. the way it is now seems to be a bit more balanced than before. Was this what you were trying to do??

I noticed once I made a small change to fed.fc and the compiler crashed. I tested it with the 586 release exes (which should be identical to the default make.) and didnt have problems. The other thing is windows95 is more permissive of errors so (assuming you're running something later) you might get more problems.

I have a good copy of the error log. I will try to catch you on ICQ tonight to send it over. I noticed that if i cut out that entire fleet block and replace it with another block from a working fleet (Hord_SP for example), the mission works fine. I adjusted the starting locations as well and it does not help. It is a very strange error.
Is anybody else getting a error when they try to run my custom mission?
I will write up a few more later today (After work) and see if i can isolate the problem.

The scanning should be (more or less) a clone for fcomm but can be different for fcommx.
Another point where I've not understood the original source and just made a guess at it!
In 0.36 the program crashed after compiling an FC file
this was fixed and release 0.361 was issued with the fix.
