I'm currently beta testing gpc for the next SuSE release. Since I'm not really using gpc myself, could you help me what I should test, so that SuSE 6.4 will have a working gpc?

We're planning to use gpc 19991030 with gcc 2.95.2.

I just did the following tests with some of the demos: gromit:/usr/doc/packages/gpc/demos:[0]$ gpc --automake crtdemo.pas gromit:/usr/doc/packages/gpc/demos:[0]$ ./a.out

And the output looks fine.

I think if this works, the installation is alright, and `make install' should be all that's required, but perhaps Peter can make a definitive statement.

I also run the test suite (installed in /usr/doc/packages/gpc/test) and got only a few failures:

TEST constovfl.pas: failed: failed: 0 TEST fjf149.pas: Failed: 64 TEST fjf83.pas: failed: Failed /tmp/cc6RgcsV.s: Assembler messages: /tmp/cc6RgcsV.s:115: Error: operands given don't match any known 386 instruction TEST goto4.pas: failed

All other tests had an OK printed. I don't think that those failures are serious, especially since I don't have libgmp installed on my system.

Yes. AFAIK, libgmp is an optional package in SuSE, so you might want to specify it as a dependency...
