You most likely used C++ coding conventions.  For instance many Turbo C
programmers are laxed into thinking that "//" is a valid comment in C
which it isn't.  Gcc will generally barf on all C++ code (although it does
support "inline" and a few others if strict ANSI compatability isn't
specified.) There are probably some other C++isms that you have mixed into
your code.  Post your code so we can see what's exactly wrong with it.
