Internal GPC Problem
by Matthew Blaine 19 May '07

19 May '07

Hello, I've downloaded and successfully installed Dev+GNU Pascal from: http://gnu-pascal.de/contrib/chief/win32/dev_gnu_pascal-1.9.4.8.exe I've successfully built build_units.pas, however now I'm having trouble using the gpc compiler. Trying to compile the GrClock.pas example, for instance, works. However, trying to compile a project that includes multiple source files, as opposed to just a single source file, does not work. I receive the following error: gpc: Internal GPC problem: internal option `--amtmpfile' not given I've been searching the mailing list archives, as well as Google for a solution to this problem. I've found others with the same issue, but no solution. If anyone can help me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, M.

gpc: Internal error
by Pascal Viandier 17 May '07

17 May '07

Hi all, Back on Sun to GPC conversion after a year or so. Things are going pretty well with gpc except on one point: I run gpc on a Sparc Solaris 10 box. As soon as the cpu gets a bit loaded gpc fails with the following error: gpc: Internal error: Alarm Clock (program gpc1) Please submit a full bug report. See <URL:http://www.gnu-pascal.de/todo.html> for instructions. If I restart it it compiles some modules and stops again (I use gp). I searched for the words 'Alarm Clock' in gpc sources with no success so I cannot figure what is the problem. Any solution, clue, idea or patch is welcome. Regards. Pascal Viandier The gpc I use is: Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/3.4.4/specs Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.4/configure --enable-languages=pascal Thread model: posix gpc version 20051116, based on gcc-3.4.4

Hi and Lo functions
by MegaBrutal 04 May '07

04 May '07

Hello for all. Sorry, if my question is too dumb, but I just started to make interest in GPC in the last few days. I'm advanced in Pascal language, I used Turbo Pascal and Borland Delphi before. But I haven't used GPC before, and I'm really not advanced in Unix-based operating systems. I'm trying to compile one of my projects under Debian Linux with GPC, but it stops with an error message, that GPC doesn't know the Hi and Lo functions. I don't know that they are present in GPC in another unit, or not. I think some functions that supports the same thing must be there. Here's the purpose of the mentioned funtions: function Hi(X: word): byte; function Hi(X: integer): byte; Hi function returns the high-order byte of the specified word or 16-bit integer. function Lo(X: word): byte; function Lo(X: integer): byte; Lo function returns the low-order byte of the specified word or 16-bit integer.
