What about types ?? I need that BP sourced would be compiled and work withput any changes, and I exact memory managenent would be required. It is quite confusing when `integer' takes 4 bytes instead of 2, especially if you have limited memory and targe array of integers. also, are BP sets supported? is `data layout' comatible, i.e. would blockread() of some set work as expected ?? [byteorder is fixed]. can anyone explain me how 'absolute' works in gpc ? > Few features require special compilation options, few are > unimplemented on purpose. > FPC: there was a discussion on this list and as I remember the word > was that it is not implementing so many extended pascal features Ok, I think I'll note this, and start with gpc, and will think about FPC on request. -- Wishing without work is like fishing without bait. -- Frank Tyger

Trouble importing units/modules
by Dimitrios Bartzos 22 Jul '01

22 Jul '01

Hello, I have just compiled and installed gpc on a linux Redhat 6.1 system. Everything seems to be fine, except that when I tried a few of the demo programs I get an error about not being able to find-import the Gpc module. I tried using the --unit-directory= ... option when invoking gpc but that did not help. Any suggestions? (Probably it's a common question that has passed a million times through here, but I didn't find an answer to it yet). I would appreciate a personal reply as I am not a member of the mailing list. Thanks in advance, Dimitrios. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.265 / Virus Database: 137 - Release Date: 7/18/01

Good version for mostly IT activity
by Bohdan Vlasyuk 22 Jul '01

Hi ! I need your advice -- I want to find stable gpc version suitable for my needs.. I'm run Linux [2.4.6 as for now, and I plan to further upgrades :-)]. I need gpc to compile user programs, which would be likely developed under mics. environment, but generally under DOS with old borland pascal {They think that BP IDE is the best}. Programs are expected to be relatively small, and I don't think that anyone would use OO-extensions more that for few strings, it would at all. Actually, BP compatibility is not REQUIRED, but would be nice. Are there any standards in Pascal like ISO C ?? Personally I don't program Pascal, so I can't judge which one is better. What can you tell me about FPC? Is it worth looking ?? thank you for your opinion. P.s.: If that's wrong list for that type of questions, I'm terrible sorry, could you please direct me to right source? -- "I once witnessed a long-winded, month-long flamewar over the use of mice vs. trackballs...It was very silly."

Hello, Following the previous discussion thread I tried to build newer version of GPC on my machine. I had no problems building gpc version 20010502, based on 2.95.3 20010315. Unfortunatelly with the current sources of GPC (20010623) I got the following make errors: In file included from /export/install/gpc/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/p/gpc-common.c:29: /export/install/gpc/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/p/gbe.h:152: conflicting types for `xmalloc' /export/install/gpc/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/p/../../include/libiberty.h:129: previous declaration of `xmalloc' In file included from /export/install/gpc/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/p/gpc-common.c:35: /export/install/gpc/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/p/util.h:196: conflicting types for `concat' /export/install/gpc/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/p/../../include/libiberty.h:48: previous declaration of `concat' make[2]: *** [gpc-common.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/export/install/gpc/build/gcc/p' make[1]: *** [gpc1] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/export/install/gpc/build/gcc' make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2 Is there something wrong with the patch for GCC 2.95.3 ?

Building a i686-Linux -> 68k-coff Cross Compiler
by Loris Caren 18 Jul '01

Hello, I've got gcc-2.95.3, binutils-2.11 and gpc-20010623. I am able to build a native gpc and a gcc cross compiler, but the gpc cross almost finishes construction before stopping with an error message. Can anybody report success at building this cross, or suggest what my problem might be? ../../gcc-2.95.3/gcc/p/script/mkdir-p p/rts src=`cd ../../gcc-2.95.3/gcc && pwd` && \ cd p/rts && \ CC="`echo /usr4/gpc68-build/gcc/xgcc -B/usr4/gpc68-build/gcc/ -B/usr/local/m68k-coff/bin/ -I/usr/local/m68k-coff/include' ' | sed -e 's,-B$[^/][^:]$,-B../../\1,g;s,^$[^/][^:]$,../../\1,'`" PC="`echo ./xgpc -B./' ' | sed -e 's,-B$[^/][^:]$,-B../../\1,g;s,^$[^/][^:]$,../../\1,'`" CONFIG_SITE=nonexisting-file \ $src/p/rts/configure --silent > /dev/null --srcdir=$src/p/rts \ `if [ x@with_shared@ = xyes ]; then echo '--with-shared'; fi` configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.
