According to Shane Wegner:
I guess you must get this alot here but I couldn't find any info on your site. What do I have to do to get the latest alpha release of gpc to work with the egcs package?
Not too much, I hope:
* Install the EGCS source.
* Install the GPC source in a `p' subdirectory of the EGCS source.
! Try to apply the patch for gcc-2.8.0:
cd <EGCS directory> patch -p1 < p/diffs/gcc-2.8.0
It some hunks fail, be invited to discuss them on this list.
* ./configure
* make LANGUAGES="c pascal"
! ... and hope that (1) GPC gets compiled and (2) the resulting binary works.
If something goes wrong, this list is the place to ask for help.
I have been experimenting over the past couple of weeks. Since gpc is based on the gcc 2.8.0 work, it is not compatible with egcs. Several weeks ago bytecode support was removed from egcs so a series of patches would be required that removed bytecode support from gpc.
