The following f(x) prototype won't compile:

Code:

Giving the error: globals.h:254: error: syntax error before numeric constant. I spent nearly one hour trying to figure out what the hell was going on. Turns out "pal" is #defined somewhere in the sgl....

You are right, from SGL.H lines 24-30:

Code: 
  
/********************************/

/*    Old Texture Table    */

/********************************/

#define    cgaddress    0x10000

#define pal COL_32K

#define TEXDEF(h,v,presize)        {h,v,(cgaddress+(((presize)*4)>>(pal)))/8,(((h)&0x1f8)<<5 | (v))}

#define    PICDEF(texno,cmode,pcsrc)    {(Uint16)(texno),(Uint16)(cmode),(void *)(pcsrc)}
I think I once had this problem, too.
