i cant compile my programs

Whenever I try to compile, this message comes up : -c: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
I've installed all the things It says I need installed,but i cant compile it.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT ?!?!?!

this means that you opened a string but never closed it again

maybe, but i'v tried reinstalling bitz max more than twice.

Reinstalling Blitz is not going to fix a Typo in your code :-)

It means you are doing something like:

PRINT "I only have one quote

when it should be

PRINT "I only have one quote"

i've checked all my quotes.

Post your code.

it worked earlier with this code, but its not working now

Your code seems to be ok. Well have you tried anything besides this code to see if you get the same error.

yeah. i've tried this and got the same result:

Does the same thing happen ?

yeah.

ok what MingW and BlitzMax version do you have and what Os are you running

I have a Mac OS X 10.3.9 G3 400MHz and Biltzmax v. 1.0
What's MingW?

I really dont know, i dont own a Mac. Sorry i couldn't help

Go to the updates and betas forum and download BlitzMax 1.06. Try it with that. You must also have XCODE installed for blitzmax to work or one of the developer tools.

I'll try that.
thanks

thanks it works.
