View source for I can't compile anything in GPL.BP!

Programs that live in GPL.BP are for the most part "internal" programs.  As such, they need to be compiled in a special way.

You may have seen errors similar to those below:

 ******
 69: Unrecognised compiler directive
 *
 73: Misformed $CATALOGUE

This means that you didn't start OpenQM with the "internal" directive.

Quit out of OpenQM and restart it using the "-internal" option.  
 /usr/qmsys/bin/qm -internal

You should then be able to compile programs that use the $internal compiler directive as well as the extended version of the $catalogue directive.
