Hi, Marius! Hi, all!
- Subdirectory /p in the gcc source directory may not be a symlink (make finds out the real directory and complains about missing `../configure') - I remember I've seen this problem reported together with a patch on the list.
This will be fixed in the next release where `make' looks for `$(srcdir)/configure'.
- Compiling the RTL for the first time fails because `gpc' is not found (it is still called `xgpc' at the moment)
This also will be fixed in the next release.
However I was unable to install RHIDE for Linux (rpm2tgz from Slackware 3.4 distribution fails with the rpm package) [...]
What about `rpm --install ...'? It worked for me.
- GPC preprocessor outputs too many empty lines when removing text between {$IFDEF} ... {$ENDIF}. A sample program: [...]
While we were aware of the problem, your test program allows for the best analysis so far. We are working on fixing this. Thanks for your help!
- Procedural variables are always passed by value.
This will be harder to fix. I included your test program into our testsuite (marius1.pas).
- (I think this one is not new) `--automake' does pass all required .o files to the linker if it didn't need to recompile the sources.
That's not new, but again a better analysis of the problem. In order to hunt the bug, an example program which will output "OK" when the bug will be fixed would be helpful. (Or do we already have one? I have lost overview a little ... #-)
(Windows 95 crashed as usual and I had to retype everything from scratch.
:-(
I should once again try to install RHIDE for Linux...)
;-) Good luck!
