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

new binaries uploaded
by J.J. van der Heijden 20 May '96

20 May '96

Hello all, Today I uploaded a couple of new gpc-binaries to ftp://kampi.hut.fi/jtv/incoming. Hopefully, Juki will soon move them to an appropriate location. All of these are based on the public (2.6.3) snapshot of gpc. "turbo" flavours are based on Peter Gerwinski's "turbo-alpha" sources. The files are: gpc-1.1p2.linux.tar.gz turbo-1.1.linux.tar.gz Linux (ELF) gpc binary. I had to do some patching to gcc because gcc-2.6.3 ELF support was experimental and incompatible with the current (stable) state of ELF. Creates ELF executables. I think I uploaded these to sunsite.unc.edu (/pub/Linux/devel/lang/pascal) some time ago, although the "turbo" may have been version 1.0 Binaries were built on a late 1.3.x kernel and require libc-5.2.18 gpc112b.zip turbo11b.zip GPC binaries that fit into a djgpp (V2) distribution. djgpp is the "official" GCC release for MS-DOS, it should not be confused with Peter's EMX binaries, although they do roughly the same thing. Again, some patching to gcc because djgpp was v1.12 for gcc-2.6.3 and v2 for 2.7.2. gpc-1.1p2.cygwin32-beta14.zip turbo-1.1.cygwin32-beta14.zip GPC binaries that work ONLY with the current (beta14) release of the cygwin32 project. (Every new release seems to break compatibility with the previous one). The cygwin32 project is porting GNU software to Windows95 and NT (ix86 & ppc). This gpc creates PE/i386 executables. This is a work in progress: the compiler is restricted to console applications because it cannot access the Win32 API. The Win32 API requires a different way of stack management from the compiler (subroutine cleans stack), the rest of the world, including gpc, uses the C-style method (caller cleans stack). Hopefully, I can deal with this problem before gpc-1.2 is released, but I'm still interested in your experiences with this baby. More info on cygwin32 is available at: ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnu-win32 I also have beta12 and beta13 win32 binaries around, but I don't think anybody is using b12 or 13 anymore so I didn't upload them. Last (but not least?), I have some Linux/ELF based gpc-crosscompilers They can be usefull if you want to develop from a single source tree, but support multiple target platforms. If anybody is interested in this stuff, he/she should contact me. You also need extra cross-binutils to make this work. I have linux->linuxaout, linux->djgpp & linux->win32 available. Happy hacking, J.J. van der Heijden

BO5 for Linux: bug report and workaround
by Peter Gerwinski 04 May '96

04 May '96

Hello, everybody! I was reported a bug in the BO5 screen drivers for Linux console (something like a CRT for GPC): on some machines the program stops with a runtime error "cannot access video memory", even if compiling and executing as root. To work around, use the TERMCAP version instead; the only visible differences are that you (1) have to specify the termcap library when compiling: gpc -I /usr/src/bo5 -D TERMCAP hallo.pas -ltermcap -o hallo and that (2) you have to set the CL_COLOR environment variable in order to get colors: export CL_COLOR=YES The next version will fix this bug (I will probably rewrite the Linux drivers in complete). Yours, Peter
