Hi all,

when I try to bootstrap gpc, on a TinyCore 7.0 Linux with the necessary extensions installed. I downloaded the source distribution from http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/gpc-20070904-build.tar.gz and followed the instructions given in http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/Pascal.html But make aborts with the following error (after quite some time workin and some warnings) during the attempt to create the info files:

[...] make[2]: Entering directory '/mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/rts' make[2]: Nothing to be done for 'generated-files'. make[2]: Leaving directory '/mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/rts' cd /mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/rts && make -f Makefile.in srcdir=.

I'm neither an autoconf nor a make guru so I am lost. I have no idea how I could tell make/configure to skip the step for creation of the documentation. I guess that it is almost done, but I am not sure about that, I tried to install with

sudo make pascal.install-with -gcc

which did something, but also ended with errors, which look very similar to the errors I hadbefore:

[...] make[1]: Nothing to be done for 'generated-files'. make[1]: Leaving directory '/mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/rts' [ -d "/mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/doc/info" ] || /mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/script/mkdir-p "/mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/doc/info" LANG=en_GB LC_ALL=en_GB makeinfo -I /mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/doc -I /mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/doc/en -I /mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/doc/generated -o /mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/doc/info/gpc.info gpc.texi could not open gpc.texi: No such file or directory /mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/Make-lang.in:808: recipe for target '/mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/doc/info/gpc.info' failed make: *** [/mnt/sda5/TeX-GPC/work/gcc-3.4.6/gcc/p/doc/info/gpc.info] Error 1

Although gpc --version now works. But I cannot compile anything. Going to demos and trying gpc hello.pas -o hello yields gpc: installation problem, cannot exec gpc1: No such file or directory

Here are the versions of the different tools used:

$ bash --version GNU bash, version 4.3.39(1)-release (i486-pc-linux-gnu) ... $ bzip2 --version bzip2, a block-sorting file compressor. Version 1.0.6, 6-Sept-2010. ... $ sed --version sed (GNU sed) 4.2.2 ... $ awk --version GNU Awk 4.1.3, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.3-p4, GNU MP 6.0.0) ... $ m4 --version m4 (GNU M4) 1.4.17 ... $ bison --version bison (GNU Bison) 3.0.4 ... $ flex --version flex 2.5.39 ... $ autoconf --version autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69 ... $ makeinfo --version texi2any (GNU texinfo) 6.0 ... $ help2man --version GNU help2man 1.46.1
