I downloaded GPC from this web site: _http://www.gnu-pascal.de/binary/_
I downloaded the binary version of GPC and GCC bundled together in RMP format for Linux. I specifically need GPC 2.1 with GCC 2.95, the file called gpc-2.1-with-gcc.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz http://www.gnu-pascal.de/binary/gpc-2.1-with-gcc.i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz.
I was greatly relieved to find this web site, and that binaries were available in the versions I needed.
Problem is, when I install the RPM, it looks like the “binary” GCC compiler is incomplete – no actual binaries, compiler not ready to run. I could be wrong, so if I am, I need someone to help point me in the right direction. I’m a sysadmin who’s installing this software for a developer, which I am not.
Have you noticed that this is not a RPM but a .tar.gz file ? I suppose so In that case have you untarred it below the root / of your system ? (it will install then in /usr/local) In principle I see all binaries and all files needed to run gpc. One problem may be that this compiler uses the system libc, which depends on the linux version of the system you use. This is why everybody here compiles the compiler: it uses autotools to look at what is contained in the libc installed in your particular system ans adapt gpc accordingly.
Since I personally think the most ridiculous thing in the world is a compiler that won’t work until it’s compiled by another compiler, can anybody point me in the right direction to either an installable package of GPC 2.1, GCC 2.95 for Linux or tell me how to get this particular backage to work?
Oh, I am attempting to install and run this package on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11.
Major thanks in advance to anyone that can help out. Not sure what to think, the most recent update I can identify on the above web site was 5 years ago. Anybody out there?
everybody here compiles for linux the latest snapshot (which is much better than the old 2.1 version, but you seem to have very peculiar needs) http://www.math.uni.wroc.pl/~hebisch/gpc/gpc-20070904.tar.bz2
