The "/* within comment" error in my experience has been due to an attempt
to nest comments.
That might be ok in a windows compiler, but nesting comments on Linux.
The most common reason for me doing this myself is commenting out a swathe
of code that I'm rewriting, and not noticing there's a comment within the
swathe.
Even if you "correctly" nest comments (/* blah /* blah2 */ */) it will
complain loudly.
