Hello,

I have been trying, on behalf of one of our researchers here, to install the gpc-20010623 on a Solaris 8 (8-04) SunBlade.

I had install problems buth using Sun's "extra" gcc-2.95.2 sources as the base and using the gcc-core distribution from the GPC ftp site.

Mainly, these difficulties appear to arise because things like xmalloc and concat were being multiply defined.

So, by a good deal of guesswork, I ended up adding:

-DEGCS -DEGCS92 -DEGCS95

to be defined when doing the make. It compiled.

However when I try to compile a "hello word" I get the following at the linker stage

Undefined first referenced symbol in file _p_eq /usr/local/packages/gcc-2.95.2/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/2.95.2/libgpc.a(string.o) ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to a.out collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I guess this is a Pascal thing.

Anyone had any success with GPC under Solaris 8 ? Anyone shed any light ?

Full gpc -v helo.pas output is
