I did some work on updating gpc to newer gcc versions. You can
find it at GitHub:
https://github.com/hebisch/gpc
This is experimental work. 4.2 and 4.3 ports (on "master" Git branch)
are basically in "works for my purpose" state: on my machine compiler
builds and passes test suite with small (but nonzero) number of
failures. On 4.5.1 there is initial port to gcc-4.[45] -- this
one is broken from user point of view and may be of some use
only for people who want to seriously work on the compiler.
Note that this is _not_ a release. There are relatively easy to
fix but non working things (in particular some features of Makefiles
are broken). Testing was limited to running testsute just for
one configuration. I estimate that fixing easily fixable stuff
and polishing things would take me about a week -- unfortunately
I am busy with other things. So I decided to make the code
available "as is". If there will be bug reports, I will look
at them and there is reasonable chance that I will fix them.
But otherwise I do not plan to work on gpc in near future.
If you want to try the code note that there are changes to build
process, look at toplevel README file.

Hi
for those who want to install gnu pascal on recent rpm based linux distributions,
I have made rpm packages for openSuSE (various versions), fedora/centos & mandriva (most recent versions only). This is for gpc 20070904
find them on opensuse build service here ---> http://software.opensuse.org/package/gpc
or go directly to my repository here ---> http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/TrevorBl/
There are also subpackages for documentation, test results and a simple app wizard for kdevelop4.
Test results vary a little - from 7 fails and 4 unsupported tests to zero fails & 2 unsupported (on centOS-6).
(gmp-test result is unsupported for all distrubutions on open build service, but it passes fine on my system at home (OpenSuse 12.1) -
does this mean I have missed some dependency in the rpm?)
As always, comments and suggestions welcome.
Best Regards,
Trevor//
