Dear GPC,
I am updating my installation instructions for GPC on all platforms. I
just uninstalled all XCode files from my MacOS 10.7.5 system with:
sudo /Developer/Library/uninstall-devtools -mode=all
I re-started the OS. I have an installation of gpc, but I could not find
an uninstall script for the files in /usr/bin, so I just downloaded
Adriaan's "GNU Pascal 3.4.6u4 installer for Mac OS X 10.6 Intel native
and PowerPC cross-compiler" and installed again. That package says "for
MacOS 10.6 only" but I went ahead anyway.
I have the following program:
program p; begin writeln('Hello World'); end.
And I try to compile with 'gpc', but I get this error:
Kevan-Laptop:Build kevan$ gpc p.pas
as: assembler (/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as or
/usr/bin/../local/libexec/gcc/darwin/i386/as)
for architecture i386 not installed
Installed assemblers are:
/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc64/as for architecture ppc64
/usr/bin/../libexec/gcc/darwin/x86_64/as for architecture x86_64
/usr/bin/../local/libexec/gcc/darwin/m68k/as for architecture m68k
/usr/bin/../local/libexec/gcc/darwin/hppa/as for architecture hppa
/usr/bin/../local/libexec/gcc/darwin/sparc/as for architecture sparc
/usr/bin/../local/libexec/gcc/darwin/m88k/as for architecture m88k
/usr/bin/../local/libexec/gcc/darwin/i860/as for architecture i860
I always imagined that the assemblers were installed with the GCC that
comes included with GPC, but I appear to be mistaken, because
Kevan-Laptop:Pascal kevan$ find /Developer/Pascal/ -name as
comes up with nothing. Meanwhile I do have:
Kevan-Laptop:Pascal kevan$ find /usr -name as
/usr/bin/as
/usr/libexec/as
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc64/as
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/x86_64/as
/usr/local/libexec/gcc/darwin/hppa/as
/usr/local/libexec/gcc/darwin/i860/as
/usr/local/libexec/gcc/darwin/m68k/as
/usr/local/libexec/gcc/darwin/m88k/as
/usr/local/libexec/gcc/darwin/sparc/as
In Adriaan's Readme.rtf file, it says, "The following utilities are
installed with Xcode... as Apple/gnu assembler."
I conclude that I must install XCode in order to compile with GPC. Which
version of XCode should I install? Starting with XCode 4.0, PPC
processors and OS 10.4 SDKs are not provided, although it will do 32-bit
i386. I tried XCode 3.2 but it crashes on OS 10.7. The one that works
for me is XCode 2.5, just using the command-line tools and SDKs.
Is anyone else using GPC on MacOS 10.7 or later, and if so, are you able
to use the PPC cross-compiler?
Yours, Kevan
