Build the game using the ZILF toolset. Eliminate compilation and startup errors where necessary.

Answer 1 · 2019-07-13T11:10:41.000Z

Ensure the main file has a release and a version. The names of included files should be in lower case for linux/macos compilations.

Answer 2 · 2019-07-13T11:12:38.000Z

The compiler reports 1 error.

[error MDL0104] syntax.zil:806: SYNTAX: expected a single atom after FIND
  in INSERT-FILE called at hollywoodhijinx.zil:55

Answer 3 · 2019-07-13T11:19:11.000Z

Try commenting out HELD and HAVE in the following statement.

<SYNTAX UNLOCK OBJECT (ON-GROUND IN-ROOM) 
	WITH OBJECT (FIND TOOLBIT HELD HAVE) = V-UNLOCK>

Try repacing all occurences of

(LDESC "message" CR)

with

(LDESC "message~”)

Answer 6 · 2019-07-13T11:35:18.000Z

No build errors.

Answer 7 · 2019-07-13T11:35:43.000Z

Tidy the main file. Remove extraneous statements.

Answer 8 · 2019-07-13T14:57:07.000Z

No build errors.

Answer 9 · 2019-07-13T16:29:01.000Z

It seems that the LDESCs ending in CR shouldn’t have an extra CR at all. Remove all such CRs.
