If you can repeat it, compile with another Extended Pascal compiler, for example Prospero's one. If that fails too, there is really something wrong with the code. But I suspect gpc. You're using which OS? Groetjes, Berend (-: fido: 2:281/527.23 email: berend(a)beard.nest.nl

Re: Q: Is there a gpc/emx for emx09b / gcc 2.7.2

Hi Jukka, hi Peter, hi world (in that order :->), the post by Kevin Foss from the emx mailing list got me to experiment a bit more, and as it happens, with the following explicit linker statements at least my simple `Hallo world' programme is back to life: gpc test.pas -lgpc -lc_alias So, with this the binaries of the emx/gpc built by Peter Gerwinski for/with emx09a/gcc2.6.3 can be used under emx09b/gcc2.7.2 just fine. That is a minor adjustment to a properly structured makefile and much nicer than gpc -c test.pas gcc test.o which also worked. Late night cheers!

Hu? libgcc.* is still well within the DOS / FAT conventions, isn't it :-) But, anyway, I have both gcc.lib and gcc.a, one (*.lib) is, as I understand it, for linking with *.obj files using link386 and -Zomf, the other one (*.a) for the traditional a.out and emx format. > > > Well, I have indeed had success with gcc 2.6.3, but not with 2.7.2 anymore. > > Being completely stupid I didn't just upgrade emx rts from 09a to 09b but > > did the wole works (2.6.3 -> 2.7.2) assuming that's a VERY GOOD THING. > > Maybe it wasn't.

Q: Is there a gpc/emx for emx09b already ?
by sad＠utkux.utcc.utk.edu 18 Mar '96

18 Mar '96

Hi all, hi Peter, I was wondering whether it is just me or a known (and maybe even fixed?) problem: I just finished installing emx09b on my machine to be able to run things like the latest gnuplot beta and all that stuff that gave me warnings about having to use emx09b. So, all seemed well. In fact, even g77 worked, it still does after I have installed the version that had been recompiled with emx09b. GPC doesn't like me anymore, though. It compiles, but linking doesn't seem to work, I get stuff like: rts-file.c:221 (e:/bin/emx/lib/gpc.a(rts-file.o)): Undefined symbol _write refer enced from text segment and lots of it. I then fetched a later version from ftp.uni-augsburg.de since I can't seem to get through to kampi.hut.fi tonight, and installed it: Still the same problem. I understand that emxgpc was compiled (or patched) for 2.6.3, but I was wondering whether there is any hope on the horizon for a transparent gpc under emx? Interesting enough, gpc --version reports %PROG2%, so this may serve as version indication: rwxa-- 161799 Dec 13 00:39 e:/bin/emx/bin/gpc.exe* but more interesting (and temporary relief!) is, that gpc -c test.pas gcc test.o -lgpc does produce a working executable. Any ideas, pointers, promises are most welcome! Cheers! Stefan

Q: How do you use UNITs in TurboGPC? Plus general comments ....
by lotu＠wam.umd.edu 18 Mar '96

18 Mar '96

I just downloaded the precompiled ELF binary version of "Turbo" GPC for Linux. I've been playing around with it for the past few minutes, but I can't seem to be able to figure out how to make and use Borland Pascal UNITs. To try it out, I made a simple program (test1.p) that called the procedure "Intro" which was in another unit (unit1.p). I first compiled the unit (thinking that gpc doesn't have a built-in make like BPC/TPC does) with the following command line: "gpc -c unit1.p". I then proceeded to compile and link test1.p -- but as I expected it didn't work. I get the message: "No exported interface matching 'Unit1'' "undeclared indentifier 'Intro' .....' I sort of expected this to happen 'cause how would gpc know about unit1.p? I'm obviously doing something wrong here. Can somebody please clue me in? Thanks! And on a seperate, but related note .... How goes the work on "Turbo" GPC? How about GPC in general? (as far as getting full Extended Pascal compliance is concerned). Copies of the ISO Pascal and Extended Pascal standards are available off the 'net courtesy of John Reagan, if anybody is interested. He also said that he was gonna put the new Object Pascal standard up for ftping as well ... so perhaps Object Pascal can be incorporated into GPC ... shouldn't be too hard now ... with "Borland Pascal with Objects" already in place. =============================================================================== Arcadio Alivio Sincero, Jr. Sophomore, Computer Science Major at the University of Maryland at College Park Amateur competitive bodybuilder Email: lotu(a)wam.umd.edu, WWW: <still working on it!> "D.A.R.E. .... to keep cops of donuts."

Sorry if this shows up twice but something bounced, so I try it again.
