AVR-Chat

I am using avrgcc 4.2.1 through AVRStudio 4.13 Service Pack 1. 

I am getting a frustrating compiler error:

in line 38:


main (

I am getting:

error: unexpected '=', ' ,' , ', ' , ';',  'asm' or '_attribute_" before 
'{' token


Problem is the only lines prior to this line  in the code are comments 
and two includes, explicitly:


#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>


   So, am I to assume there is an error in one of these two include files?

   This is my first attempt at using C on an AVR, and I am flummoxed.

   Err, typo:   main {

Is it because you've got a paren instead of a curly brace after main?

   Found it!    It's been 7 years since I coded any C.    I had "main 
{"  not "main () {"



*sheesh* the error the compiler was tossinfg didn't help at ALL.,

That's what I don't like about gcc.  I don't find the errors to be that
helpful and often the error is unrelated to the problem and a hundred lines
away.

Phillipe:   to be fair, I have found that to be true with every C 
compiler, indeed, with
every compiler of ANY ilk, I have ever used.  Some are better than others.

At least I haven't paid hundreds or even thousands of dollars for this one!
