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

Hello, from tomorrow (Friday), 15:00 until Sunday, 20:00 o'clock, parts of the network of the University of Essen will be switched off. It might be that agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de will be unreachable until Monday. Just in case you wonder ...

Has someone a Sun workstation for me? 8-)
by Peter Gerwinski 29 Oct '99

29 Oct '99

Hello, I wanted to finish some work on the most recent (alpha) GPC on a Sun workstation. Unfortunately, the one I have access to is affected by the power hole on this weekend. If someone can give me an account on a Sun with ~100MB of free disk space I can guarantee to leave a current GPC there. :-) Thanks in advance, Peter -- http://home.pages.de/~Peter.Gerwinski/ - G-N-U GmbH: http://www.g-n-u.de Maintainer GNU Pascal - http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/ - gpc-19990118 GnuPG key fingerprint: 9E7C 0FC4 8A62 5536 1730 A932 9834 65DB 2143 9422 keys: ftp://ftp.gerwinski.de/pub/keys/ - AntiSpam: http://spam.abuse.net

Cannot install gpc
by Ariel Bendersky 29 Oct '99

29 Oct '99

Hi! I'm trying to install the binary package gpc-19990607-djgpp.zip and after uncompressing it into my djgpp directory I got the following while trying to compile: ************** C:\Ariel>gpc test.pas c:\utils\gcc\bin\ld.exe: cannot open -lgcc: No such file or directory (ENOENT) *************** I've read on the list an e-mail with a similar problem, but I do have installed gcc (version 2.95), and still get the same error. By the way, the test.pas is as simple as: *************** program test; begin writeln('test'); end. *************** Thank you, Ariel. --- Ariel Bendersky bender(a)einstein.com.ar ICQ 1914963

No, it isn't there yet. As I said, the highlighting currently is a bit primitive. In particular, it only works per line. I have plans to do real highlighting, including multi-line comments, support for different languages and more, but it's not on the top of my priority list... So, what I could do now easily would be highlighting for comments within a single line, but I'm not sure if it's useful. What do you think? > 3) the date in the window title bar!! : > /home/girardi/typing/math3.pas 27.10.1999 > it is absolutely ugly :) You can turn the time and/or date off under Options/Environment/Clock, but for the next release, I've already changed the default to time only. > 4) some colors are a bit eye-breaking ;) You can change all the colors under Options/Colors, but if you tell me which ones you don't like and what you'd prefer, I might change the defaults.

FreeBSD port
by Marc van Woerkom 27 Oct '99

27 Oct '99

Dear GNU Pascal developers, had another read of the GPC pages but I am still uncertain about your development model. At present I can spot source tarballs only and miss a CVS server badly. Is it possible to get access to the latest sources? It would help me considerably to arrange things with our folks responsible for the compiler. Regards, Marc

Re: Unit Printer

Russ Whitaker wrote: > > 1) How do I pass '-Praw' to PrinterArguments? Like this: (Thanks, Frank!) program Foo; uses GPC, Printer; var Printer : Text; begin (* New (PrinterArguments, 1);*) getmem(printerarguments,8);{$w-}word(pointer(printerarguments)^):=1; PrinterArguments^[1] := NewString ('-Praw'); AssignPrinter (Printer, null); Rewrite (Printer); Writeln (Printer, 'foo') end. Unfortunately, there is a problem with schema types transported through units, so we need the workaround with `getmem'. I am currently working on this problem, so you will be able use the correct `New' in future releases of GPC. > 2) Any particular reason why PrinterArguments isn't just a string? When you are passing arguments to the program you already know their structure, so it's easy for you to decomposite them. If `PrinterArguments' were just a string, the `pipe' unit would have to do the decomposition before passing the parameters to the subprocess. Not a real problem, but it would be some unnecessary waste of resources.
