Building GreatBack
Compiling:GreatBack.bmx
Linking:GreatBack
SIGNAL: 10
Process complete

My Mac is not really wanting to start up any more. I could get in with an emergency account I created in the past. I whipped up a quick backup program that RARs all important dirs into separate .RAR files. Or at least that was the idea.

Every time I try to compile my source I get this SIGNAL: 10 message in my output screen and there it ends.

What the hell is SIGNAL 10? And what can I do to get around it?

(Okay, I could avoid this error, by copying BlitzMax to my portable HD. However that still leaves the question what SIGNAL 10 means).

I believe Signal 10 is a Bus Error

Perhaps a reinstall of XCode will help.

install xcode 3.1 .2
signal 10 and 11 are
bus error or memory error .
be shure all used pointers are korrect if you use one
also test the returns from fileopen and filewrite routines

I think xcode 3.1 won't help me. It's Leopard only, as far as my knowledge goes. (And I currently have Tiger. I've ordered a new Mac with Leopard, but it hasn't arrived yet).
Pointers weren't used either.
Point is that the program was not even executed. It appears the linker returns this error.

Anyway I was about to re-install MacOS X anyway (since it constantly crashes when I log in in my main account), so I shall see if it works then.

I do remember seeing this error before though. So I really wonder what it is...
