Hi,
I'm programming an NXT brick with NXC / Brixcc.

When I Compile and run an existing, previously written program all goes well. Perhaps a syntax-error or type-mismatch which is correctly shown.

However, when I start a new program on "clean sheet" the compiler prompts a compile-error. Even when I copy-paste code from another program of which I am certain that it works, the compile-fail occurs.

It doesn't say what goes wrong wether or not it is the code.

When I Load a previously working program and I strip all the code and start writing new code all goes well.

So, there is a problem when I start a "brand-new-program".

Even a code like this never fails to ... well.. fail when written in a new "sheet" :

task main()
{
TextOut(10, LCD_LINE4,"Whatever");"
Wait(2000);
}

Can someone tell me what the problem is?

on the program you have mentioned, there is an extra quote at the end of the line 3.
Which will cause a compiler error. Remove that quote and check.

You're right. I think it's a "typo" from typing some code in the post.
This mistake, however, would cause an error-message of some sort.
...
I tried it : With the extra quote the compile fails but promts a message regarding the extra quote.

When I remove it ( the quote) the compile also fails but it doensn't tell what goes wrong and for what reason. It just prompts a messagebox telling me that the compile failed.

When I open a previously written program, strip it and add this code : No problem.

So, there must be something wrong when opening a "new" program.

!!!!!! FOUND IT !!!!!!!!!!!!

When I "Save-as" the program it works just fine.
