According to Shane Wegner: > > Does the gpc (gnu pascal compiler) work with egcs? Does anyone have any > information or is this compiler even being developed anymore? Current (alpha) versions of GPC are known to work with GCC 2.8.0. Using them with EGCS will probably require some patching, but should be an affordable effort. See ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/ for an up-to-date version of GPC; see http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/ for more information about GPC.

What's the latest?
by FPL 15 Apr '98

Hi the list, Hum. Sorry, I was away from the list and only skimmed your last messages. I have seen Peter announced a new release of a new stuff, I think it is the alpha 980410, I have also seen few flyeeng feet and all those debates about djgjgpgj (well, the GNU cc for DOS). So I surmise there is no great changes for a linux fella. Well, I have crashed the box and *need* to install again some version of GPC (and everything else by the way). I thought it may be sensible to install the last one. Excuse me to (eventually) ask you: where/what is the last version? (one which is stable please, contrary to half people of the list, I do not track bugs, I escape them) Thanks.

More on my unit
by Bendersky 14 Apr '98

14 Apr '98

I'm starting to think that I don't know how to use my own defined operators :-( Should this tiny program work? : ****************************** uses vectores; var a, b, c : TVector; begin a.x:=1; a.y:=2; a.z:=3; b.x:=4; b.y:=5; b.z:=6; c:=a-b; writeln(c.x); writeln(c.y); writeln(c.z); end. ********************* 'cause I still get the same error. The error is in the line c:=a-b "invalid operands to binary -". Thanks again, Ariel. --- Ariel Bendersky bender(a)einstein.com.ar

Units
by Bendersky 14 Apr '98

14 Apr '98

Hi again. I've written a small unit to work with 3D vectors. It compiles without errors, but when I'm trying to use the operators I defined from a program I get the "invalid operands to binary" error. But I can use the type defined in the unit without problems. The source code is the following: *************************** Unit vectores; Interface {$X+} {$W-} Type TVector = Record x, y, z: Real; End; Operator + ( a, b: TVector ) c : TVector; Operator - ( a, b : TVector ) c : TVector; Operator * ( a, b : TVector ) c : Real; Operator / ( a : TVector; b : Real ) c : TVector; Operator * ( a : TVector; b : Real) c : TVector; Operator * ( a : Real; b : TVector) c : TVector; Function modu ( a : TVector ) : real; Implementation Operator + ( a, b: TVector ) c : TVector; Begin c.x := a.x + b.x; c.y := a.y + b.y; c.z := a.z + b.z; End; Operator - ( a, b : TVector ) c : TVector; Begin c.x := a.x - b.x; c.y := a.y - b.y; c.z := a.z - b.z; End; Operator * ( a, b : TVector ) c : Real; Begin c := (a.x * b.x) + (a.y * b.y) + (a.z * b.z); End; Operator / ( a : TVector; b : Real ) c : TVector; Begin c.x:=a.x / b; c.y:=a.y / b; c.z:=a.z / b; End; Operator * ( a : TVector; b : Real) c : TVector; Begin c.x:=a.x*b; c.y:=a.y*b; c.z:=a.z*b; End; Operator * ( a : Real; b : TVector) c : TVector; Begin c.x:=a*b.x; c.y:=a*b.y; c.z:=a*b.z; End; Function modu ( a : TVector ) : real; Begin modu := sqrt(sqr(a.x)+sqr(a.y)+sqr(a.z)); End; {$W+} End. *************************** Does anybody know what's wrong? Thank you, Ariel --- Ariel Bendersky bender(a)einstein.com.ar

New alpha: gpc-980405
by Peter Gerwinski 09 Apr '98

09 Apr '98

Hello, everybody! I have solved the I/O problem on the DJGPP platform (and fixed some other bugs) and am now uploading a new alpha version of GPC to ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/gnu-pascal/alpha/ (source (diff) and binaries). Many thanks to Eli Zaretskii for his help with the I/O problem.

(Sorry, I forgot to mention.#-) Okay, I guess I won't be trying it for a while :( Currently there is no 2.8.x gcc for EMX, and I don't expect one right off for various reasons. Hopefully by this summer there will be a new release. -Kevin -- Kevin A. Foss --- kfoss(a)mint.net

Problems compiling gpc-980405
by Pat 06 Apr '98

06 Apr '98

I;ve been trying to build gpc from the alpha sources. I downloaded gpc-980405 today and get an error when it tries to build libgpc.a. Here is the error: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/gcc/gcc-2.8.0/p/rts' ../../xgpc -B../../ --automake -c -DGPC -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -O3 -I. -I../.. -I/usr/local/gcc/gcc-2.8.0/p/rts/../.. -I/usr/local/gcc/gcc-2.8.0/p/rts/../../config rts-move.p gpc1: installation problem, cannot exec `gpc': No such file or directory gpc1: gpc exited with status 255 gpi-hash.c:329: failed assertion `rp == 0' xgpc: Internal compiler error: program gpc1 got fatal signal 6 make[1]: *** [rts-move.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gcc/gcc-2.8.0/p/rts' make: *** [libgpc.a] Error 2 Anyone have a clue how to fix it?

I currently still use GPC 2.0.

DJGPP 2.8.x...
by Orlando Llanes 05 Apr '98

05 Apr '98

I saw the binary for djgpp 2.8.1, but at 8MB, if I download it, I want to make sure I can run it on my computer (and who knows? Maybe someone else on the list is wondering as well). Does anyone know if DJGPP 2.8.x runs on a 486? If so, does it also compile 486 code (I don't mean optimization tho, just whether or not it'll compile 486 binaries)? Thanks in advance! See ya!

CRT
by Bendersky 04 Apr '98

04 Apr '98

Hi everybody. Is there some CRT unit to use with GPC? Because I don't want to install the BPCompat kit, so it's unit doesn't work. Or if there is no CRT unit, is there some way to use the stdio.h header file? Specially the getchar function. Thank you, ARIEL. --- Ariel Bendersky bender(a)einstein.com.ar
