problems compiling gpc-20021128
by Richard D. Jackson 28 Jan '03

28 Jan '03

I'm having some issues in getting gpc compiled following the directions at http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc_42.html#SEC42 Here is what I have done and the results I'm getting. 1st attempt used gcc-core-3.2.1.tar.gz & gpc-20021128.tar.gz followed the directions from the above page and everything compiled as expeced. I read the README in the test directory and it indicated to run make in the test dir or make check in the p dir. I did the make check in the p dir. During the test gpc would get Internal compiler errors on every test which meant that all tests failed. NOTE: The this was done prior to runing make install. Here is one of the error messages I got just so you know the exact output. TEST aturbo3test.pas: /home/src/gcc-3.2.1/gcc/p/test/../units/system.pas: In function `Memavail': /home/src/gcc-3.2.1/gcc/p/test/../units/system.pas:827: Internal compiler error in gen_tagged_type_instantiation_die, at dwarf2out.c:11247 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <URL:http://www.gnu-pascal.de/todo.html> for instructions. gpc1: /home/src/gpc-build/gcc/xgpc exited with status 1 gpc1: /home/src/gpc-build/gcc/xgpc exited with status 1 failed After this failed I decided to install the full gpc sources that my distribution uses ( gentoo by the way ). the source used is gpc-3.2.1 with some patches applied: gcc-3.2.1-branch-update-20021208.patch gcc-3.2.1-bug-url.patch gcc32-ada-make.patch gcc32-shared-pthread.patch gcc32-testsuite.patch gcc32-tls-reload-fix.patch (NOTE: I can supply these to any one that wants them. most of them are really small except the branch-update patch wich is about 1M when compressed with bzip2 ) When I ran configure on this one I had one gpc patch fail to apply. It was the bug url patch as the above gentoo patch had changed the url to a gentoo url verses the gnu url so I fixed the gpc patch to reflect the change and got a clean gpc patch. Now on to running make. When Make ran I got this error which I have been unable to track down as from what I can see it looks OK. In file included from /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.2.1-r6/work/gcc-3.2.1/gcc/p/gpc-common.c:27: /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.2.1-r6/work/gcc-3.2.1/gcc/p/gpc.h:667: conflicting types for `global_trees' /var/tmp/portage/gcc-3.2.1-r6/work/gcc-3.2.1/gcc/tree.h:1956: previous declaration of `global_trees' make[1]: *** [p/gpc-common.o] Error 1 Line 667 in gpc.h extern tree size_type_node; Line 1956 in tree.h extern tree global_trees[TI_MAX]; tree.h line 1998 #define size_type_node global_trees[TI_SIZE_TYPE] TI_MAX & TI_SIZE_TYPE are part of a enum where TI_MAX is the last item and TI_SIZE_TYPE is last part of the enum. I've greped the sources for gcc and gpc and can't seem to find where tree is defined to see what is going on. If anyone could point me where to look to solve this I would appreciate it. In the mean time I'm going to give another go at doing it from the clean gcc sources. but this time I'm going to get the full sources. Thanks Richard

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.
