Yet, another GPC Installation problem
by Jorge Balseiro López 25 Jan '03

25 Jan '03

Hello again, folks: IÂ´m sorry to be a bit dummy about hits matter, but I really needo to get the gpc compiler working on my computer. IÂ´ve installed the Latest gcc package, as I told you before, to solve the problem of the 'as' compiler lack on my OS. After that, I discovered that I didnÂ´t have the binutils installed correctly, so I did it well this time. OK until here. The problem is that now, when I try to compile my .pas source I get the following error message: " /usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory collect2: ld returned 1 exit status." Any answer could be of help. Thanks in advance, Jorge Balseiro.

Cross-compiling for Wintel
by Adriaan van Os 25 Jan '03

25 Jan '03

Maybe, some of you have any experience cross-compiling for Wintel. Suppose, I build a cross-compiler (running on Mac OS X) that compiles Windows code for i386. (1) Do I need a cross-linker too ? How does the linker know about Win32 DLLs and LIBs to link with ? (2) Do produced executables run as native Windows GUI programs or DLLs (without a UNIX compatible shell installed) ? (3) Same question for DOS programs. (4) Are there any GPC Pascal interfaces to the Win32 API ? (5) What about cross-debugging with two machines ? Regards, Adriaan van Os

GPC based on GCC 3.2.1?
by Silvio a Beccara 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

Dear all, it seems that GCC 3.2.1 overcomes many of the shortcomings of the previous 3.x releases. Moreover, there are rumours that it should be considerably faster than any previous release. Is it planned to release a version of GPC based on GCC 3.2.1 soon? Is it difficult or lengthy a job? Thanks Silvio a Beccara

Documentation error
by Richard D. Jackson 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

Found this small error in the Programming documentatin. In section 7.1.3 Constant Declaration. Down about halfway on the page you wil find this Furthermore, you can also assign initialization values to types: program InitTypeDemo; type MyInteger = Integer value 42; var i: MyInteger; begin WriteLn (i) end. Here, all variables of type MyInteger are automatically initialized to 0 when created. The variables are initialized to 42 not 0. Attached is a patch to fix this. Richard

GPC Installation problem
by Jorge Balseiro López 24 Jan '03

24 Jan '03

Dear folks: IÂ´m running a Red Hat Linux 8.0 distribution on a i686-pc-compatible. IÂ´ve downloaded de combined gpc-gcc binary package avaliable at www.gnu-pascal.de. I follow the installation instructions precisely, and everything works well, until I try to compile a source file, where I get the following error: "gpc installation problem. Cannot exec 'as'. No such file or directory" Any ideas? Thanks in advance, Jorge Balseiro.

Compilation problem with gpc 20021128
by Martin Liddle 23 Jan '03

23 Jan '03

I am experimenting with gpc 20021128 built with gcc 3.2.1. However I have a compilation problem. The following code fails to compile with the error message: ml.p:12: passing arg1 of Sys_stat from incompatible array. The code compiles OK under 20020426 based on gcc 2.95.2. Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug? (Note if the function rmdir line is commented out in ml2 then the program compiles. If the code of ml2 is merged with ml then the code compiles). unit ml2; interface Const CstrSize = 254; type StatRecord = Array[1..20] of Integer; CstrIndex = 1..CstrSize+1; Cstring0 = packed array [CstrIndex] of char; function Cstr(protected S: string): Cstring0; function rmdir(protected Path: Cstring0): integer; C_language; function sys_stat(protected Path: Cstring0; var Buf: StatRecord): integer; asmname 'stat'; implementation function Cstr; var I, U: CstrIndex; Result: Cstring0; begin U := length(S); if U > CstrSize then U := CstrSize; for I := 1 to U do Result[I] := S[I]; Result[U+1] := chr(0); Cstr := Result; end { Cstr }; end. Program ml; uses gpc, { cstrings,} ml2; procedure make_standard_error(progname:Tstring); var retval1:integer; statrec:statrecord; begin retval1:=sys_stat(Cstr(progname+'.err'),statrec); end; Begin Writeln('Starting'); Make_standard_error('ml'); end. -- Martin Liddle, Tynemouth Computer Services, 27 Garforth Close, Cramlington, Northumberland, England, NE23 6EW.
