Hi,
to install some of my programs, a FreeBSD user requires a current GPC version (preferably newer than 20000717).
Is there any FreeBSD port available, or can someone provide one? (I have to experience with FreeBSD and no access to a FreeBSD machine myself.) If so, does it take care of installing cc1, cpp and libgcc.a as well, or will that have to be done manually?
TIA, Frank

The latest port is gpc 19990118 .

ports (like the debian- or red-hat package-system) *should* take care of everything.
You could try to use the linux-emulation to install a later version of gpc. This probably will be big fun :-)

Obviously, I don't know much about FreeBSD. What he told me was:
: And the version 2.0 of GPC, as can be found here: : http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=gpc&stype=all
So, is the 19990118 port also there, or what could I tell him?
And are there no more recent ports (as I said, I'd prefer 20000717 or newer)?

Well, then perhaps rather directly the Linux version of the GPC compiled program. ;-) (But I don't think he'd like this. ;-)

I had a close look at my port. In its pkg-descr it says:
GNU Pascal is part of the GNU compiler family, GNU CC or GCC. It combines a Pascal front-end with the proven GNU C back-end for code generation and optimization. Unlike utilities such as p2c, this is a true compiler, not just a converter.
The current release 2.0 implements Standard Pascal (ISO 7185, level 1), a large subset of Extended Pascal (ISO 10206), and Borland Pascal.

On the other hand # gpc -v delivers:
Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i386--freebsd4.3/2.8.1/specs gpc version 19990118, based on gcc-2.8.1
Perhaps you know what happened?

And - of course I do not dare to give this advice - there also is FreePascal forFreeBSD. It will install without any problems.

Probably the comment hadn't been updated then (2.0 is much older than 19990118).
So, what would a FreeBSD have to do to get this port (I've no idea of it ports system and what to tell the users)?
And - of course I do not dare to give this advice - there also is FreePascal forFreeBSD. It will install without any problems.
But it will not compile my sources. ;-)

[ Have a look at http://www.freebsd.org/handbook Chapter 4.4 "Using the Ports-Collection"]
The "Ports-Collection" is a part of FreeBSD-distribution like "bin" or "XF86" . A port consists of a Makefile, a directory with patches and an installation directory. If you have the Ports-Collection installed, you put in your FreeBSD-CDRom or just connect to the internet and do # cd /usr/ports/lang/gpc # make # make install and the port will fetch all necessary sources, apply the patches, build and install everything :-) The source-files are collected in /usr/ports/distfiles . To deinstall the port, you # cd /usr/ports/lang/gpc # make deinstall
If you do not wish to have the complete Collection, you can try to download the port seperately from ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/lang (or a local mirror) and put it into the appropriate directoy yourself.

I had no problems building the newest release on FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE... just following the build instructions. I'm currently running gpc version 20010227, based on pgcc-2.95.2 19991024 (release).
I did have one based on gcc2.95.2, but I figured why not used the Intel optimized compiler?
What I did was install the pgcc port, then followed the gpc build instructions using the pgcc source tree in /usr/ports.
It seems to work for me.
Unfortunately, just yesterday, the drive I was using for /usr/ports died on me... otherwise I'd send you a pre-build copy. :-(

OK, so I'll tell them to just try that.
But before I do, I'd like to know whether the Makefile problem ("No rule to make target `choose-temp.o', needed by `xgpc.exe'") is solved or not. I've seen contradictory statements about that. I.e., does the current GPC build with gcc-2.95* without this problem (on any platform)?
Unfortunately, just yesterday, the drive I was using for /usr/ports died on me... otherwise I'd send you a pre-build copy. :-(
Too bad. :-(
If you manage to build it again, please let me know.
