According to Robert Ketzscher:
I am now trying to install the beta-version gpc-970714 I seem to fall at the very first hurdle: After I downloaded and extracted both gpc and gcc (2.7.2.1) I did as I was told in the README of gpc above. I get the message: I can't seem to find a patch in there anywhere. when entering the patch command.
What exactly did you type?
The following is known to work on Linux and DEC-OSF:
cd /where/ever/it/is/gcc-2.7.2.1 # This must contain a `p' subdirectory patch -p1 < p/patches/gcc-2.7.2.1.patch # The following commands may have more options ./configure make LANGUAGES=pascal
Greetings,

the patch file I extracted does not contain any actual patches (file length 563 bytes, it is appended to that mail). However, I found the mkpatch file. Am I supposed to generate the patch first; if so what does the switch -U3 do (my diff does not know such a switch and hence fails). I am trying to install GPC on a Solaris (UNIX) system, I have got all the sources from GPC and GCC, so what am I supposed to do (I did read the INSTALL but as I said did not get that far)? Any help/info/suggestions/abuse much appreciated Robert
Hi again, sorry for my last mail; I seem to have lost a few lines through untaring it, I have a longer patch file now which does at least something, so I will continue to try my luck. Sorry for any inconvience caused Robert
