Thanks for your reply!

ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/maurice/gpc2952b.zip OK. I try to always give under this same link the lastest gpc snapshot I have compiled, and which give zero error when running the whole test suite.

I just updated gcc-2.95.3 version of Djgpp. Every other compiler seems to work well (Thanks to Andris). Can You update this Pascal compiler (gpc2953b.zip) and documentation and inform me (download site), too?

To force a build in pascal you need to replace --automake by --autobuild as compilation option. But this is nowhere provided for in rhide (and in particular is not done when you hit compile/build) because of the different logics: looking into the makefiles generated by rhide you have provision for RHIDE_COMPILE_LINK_AUTOMAKE but not for RHIDE_COMPILE_LINK_AUTOBUILD

I hope they add this --autobuild as a compilation option to next version.

You have probably an older version of rhide. Better upgrade.

My version is Rhide 1.4.7.8 (latest).

PASCAL_TYPE=GPC OK

...

RHIDE_LD_PASCAL=gcc ? for me it is gpc

I change it to gcc, because gpc did not works. I "cheat" from Fortran make.

...

RHIDE_COMPILE_GPC=$(RHIDE_GPC) $(RHIDE_GPC_FLAGS) $(LOCAL_OPT) -c $(SOURCE_NAME)

...

-o $(OUTFILE) RHIDE_COMPILE_LINK_GPC=$(RHIDE_LD_PASCAL) $(RHIDE_LIBDIRS) $(C_EXTRA_FLAGS)

...

-o $(OUTFILE) $(OBJFILES) $(LIBRARIES) $(RHIDE_LDFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) $(RHIDE_LIBS)

...

RHIDE_COMPILE_LINK_PASCAL_AUTOMAKE=$(RHIDE_COMPILE_LINK_$(PASCAL_TYPE))

This is unnecessary since it is identical to the defaults contained in rhide. What is necessary is:

RHIDE_COMPILE_LINK_GPC_AUTOMAKE=$(RHIDE_LD_PASCAL) $(RHIDE_LIBDIRS) -o $(OUTFILE) --autobuild $(RHIDE_GPC_FLAGS) $(SOURCE_NAME) $(LIBRARIES) $(LDFLAGS) $(RHIDE_LDFLAGS) $(RHIDE_LIBS)

I will try this when you send me the new version of GPC.

i.e. suppress options to automake to avoid those stupid warning messages, and probably replace --automake altogether by --autobuild. I am not sure that the latest replacement is still necessary. It was sometimes ago but I have not checked it recently. It increases compilation time, but it is more secure. An other convenient way is to use a compilation option --unit-destination-path= (better included automatically in the default rhide project if you work mainly in pascal) to put all .o .gpi .gpm files into a given directory, and to delete manually all the content of this directory when you want a rebuild (easy only if you work in a windows dos box not to need to exit from rhide each time you need to do that, or you can have a .bat file in your path to do that and do it by exiting temporarilly from rhide by hitting File/Dos shell). Anyhow be carefull that you have to delete all these files each time you upgrade to a new version of gpc.

I use Rhide in Windows Dos box and it works. If you know how to delete in environment file told temporary files automatically, tell me!

Hope this helps,
