Hi >For now, it would be useful to >know what computer, cpu, distribution and it's version no. that >you have. It's a pentium II, 450Mhz pc and the distribution is Mandrake 7.0. >You should have gpc in directory /usr/local/bin gpc is in /usr/bin >(If you build gpc from the sources make install puts it there >along with 9 other files) I have built gpc from the binaries from http://www.rpmfind.net.

I start to understand that gpc doesn't have all the informations it needs... How can I do to organize better all this? Do I have to clean all I have installed and start again with maybe a better choice for the binary or by building gpc from the source? Thanks again a lot in advance Nathalie

I have the same bug. The conflisting assembler line is movl $L177,$__p_MPNGHS IIRC such a bug has already been reported to the gpc mailing list. Has it been corrected in more recent snapshots ?

faq addition (was Re:help!)
by Russ Whitaker 17 May '00

Hi >... may be something about this should be added to FAQ ? Good idea. Perhaps the following: Why shouldn't I just grab and install a binary? ================================= Linux may be Linux, but many details are left up to the implementor. If that isn't enough updating a seemingly unrelated piece of software can cause compatibility problems. Witness this exchange from the mailing list: >>I'm not an expert on this, but I remember that I installed on my Linux >>(RedHat 6.1) two RPM packages: >> >> gpc-19990118-1.i386.rpm >> gpc-extras-19990118-1.i386.rpm > I have install all but it doesn't run anyway! > My Linux is mandrake 7.0, it is maybe the problem?... Mandrake is NOT compatible with RedHat despite claims - you need less manual tweaks then in case with SuSE or Debian but ONLY RedHat is compatible with RedHat (even in this case only if you are lucky enough - see below). ESPECIALLY for GPC: Mandrake traditionally using very "advanced" (read: barely working) versions of gcc and gpc relies HEAVILY on gcc. If you DO NOT have RPM for EXACTLY your distribution then better (=easier) to recompile GPC from sources. And when I'm saying EXACTLY I mean exactly: RPM for RedHat 5.0 WILL NOT work in RedHat 5.2, RPM for RedHat 6.0 WILL NOT work in RedHat 6.2, etc. In some cases even "RedHat x.y" can be incompatible with "RedHat x.y with updates" :-(( Usually it can be easily tracked down and fixed by knowledgeable person (almost any package for any distribution can be forced to work in almost any other distribution) but just "rpm -Uvh" quite often will not work. When you are compiling program from sources autoconf usually can find and compensate most differences automagically but rpm/dpkg/apt is NOT sophisticated enough. That's why we recommend to start from sources when binaries do not work for you. Russ <russwhit(a)mind.net>

Hello! My name is Janet Casey and I'm working for the Free Software Foundation assembling a database of free software world wide, which is why I'm writing to you. We have this address listed as the maintainer for 'gpc'. Can you take a quick look through the information I've assembled to see if everything is correct and if there's anything I should add? I'd appreciate it greatly. FYI- a short explanation of some of the fields. Programs- any additional programs that come included with this one. Interface- Command line, interactive, X windows, console Support- listed only if it's something other than mailing list support Repository- Any CVS repositories where the program is listed Related- any GNU packages that might be of interest to users of this package Use Requirements- Required for using the executable Build Prereq.- Required for building this package Weak Prereq.- Useful (but not mandatory) to install before building this one Source Prereq.- Packages whose source code must be present in order to build this package. Please bear in mind that not all packages will have all the fields filled in (in fact, I don't think we've run across any yet that have all the fields filled in). If there's anything you think should be added (particularly individuals who have contributed) please e-mail me.

Do you have a working C compiler? try cc -v and you should get version info. The version is not important, the response is, as cc is used for the first of the three passes to build GPC. 2. Did you install a package of "include" files? These are a bunch of files ending in .h and found in a directory or sub directory called include. In the Slackware distribution the package is called linuxinc.tgz and they consider it important enough to provide two copies - one in the D series and the other in the K series. In a simplistic sense these files tell the C compiler how to use the library. Now try make, again Russ <russwhit(a)mind.net>

help!
by Nathalie Jarosz 15 May '00

15 May '00

Hi Is someone can help me?!!! I really need to use a pascal compiler and I can't run it correctly. I manage to install a pascal compiler with "gpc-19990118-2rh6_i386(1).rpm... But, at first, when I did the command: $gpc -o test test.p, it says ld : cannot open crt1.o : no file or directory of this type. So, I tried to locate this file, and the only solution I find to go on was to copy it where I want to compile. It was the same for 'begincrt.o' and 'crti.o'. After this, the message was : ld : cannot find -lm. So, I create a variable called LFLAGS to export the libraries: $ export LFLAGs="-L /usr/i586-glibc20-linux/lib" and with the line: $ gpc -o test $LFLAGS test.p 'test' is created but when I run it, the following message appear: 'segmentation fault' What does it mean? thanks a lot in advance for your help, I guess some people use this so explain how you do to run it correctly, it's really important for me. Nathalie
