robojeff:
Roberto included some snippets of code, not fully working examples. He expected that you would recognize that and know what to do with the snippets.
From the errors you reported, it looks like you didn't define a main function and just tried to directly compile Roberto's snippets.
Function calls need to be within another function. For simple executable programs, one of your functions is typically main(). Do you have a good intro C programming reference you can review?
C is also case sensitive. That means that FILE is not the same as file. FILE is actually a reserved keyword in ANSI C. Your Example 2 expects them to be the same.
As an example, here's how you could compile what you label Example 1.
#include <utility.h>
#include <ansi_c.h>
#include <userint.h>
main()
{
static char file[] = "notepad.exe";
LaunchExecutable (file);
}
