I am using gpc version 20001122 under Linux and want to call GetUnixTime and GetCPUTime. These functions are mentioned under Run Time System and appear in gpc.pas, but the compiler does not recognize them. I can use GetTimeStamp, but I would like to use the others.
What do I do wrong? I have no special options selected.
Example:
program TimeTest;
You do not have the gpc unit in your USES clause. Insert "USES GPC;" here (without the quotation marks).
begin writeln('Test for date/time functions') ; writeln(GetUnixTime(null)) ; writeln(GetCPUTime(null)) end.
$ gpc -o time-test time-test.p
You need to supply '--automake' or '--autobuild' when you USE a unit.
This is a better command line; $ gpc --automake --executable-file-name time-test.p
or this; $ gpc --autobuild --executable-file-name time-test.p
PS: the switch '--executable-file-name' tells GPC to produce an executable that is named after the source file (i.e., 'time-test').
