Creating a Netscape Plugin with Watcom

I am having problems getting Watcom to compile the sample
NPCLOCK plugin.  It reports a syntax error at line 59 of
NPOS2.CPP (in common).

This line is a function definition, and I find it hard to
believe that there would be a syntax error in the
distributed code.  Has anyone had this problem and can shed
some light on its solution please?

I have the Warp toolkit and Watcom 10.6

If you can post the following, I can look at the problem without
having to compile it myself:
The source for NPOS2.CPP (line 59 and the surrounding lines only)
The command-line parameters for wpp386
The exact error output of the compiler

maybe Julien Pierre can help you out.  He's written some plugins
for Netscape/2 though I'm not sure what compiler he is using.

try posting to c.o.o.programmer.misc, I don't have his email
or webpage handy.

good luck.

It looks like your missing a header file.  Have you tried
looking at the pre-processor output?  What are the definitions
of NPError and "OSCALL NP_EXPORT"?  These could be
compiler-specific flags.
