Hi, Its my first time to write to this list, but I hope I can describe my problem clearly. I am currently supposed to program "things" (university stuff) in pascal and the teachers recommended GNU-pascal. So I tried to install it on my linux machine (specs later) - no luck. Then I decided to build the gcc from scratch (first I used the compiling tutorial on the gnu-pascal.de) and when I reached a point in ./configure where I got an error:
*** *** Detected GCC version 3.3.2. *** GPC 2.1 requires one of the following versions of the GCC sources to build: *** *** 2.8.1 *** 2.95.1 *** 2.95.2 *** 2.95.3-5 *** 2.95.3-6 *** 2.95.3-8 *** 2.95.3 *** 2.95.4 *** 2.95 *** 3.2.1 *** 3.2.2 *** 3.2.3 *** 3.3.1 *** 3.3 *** *** (You can try to patch GCC manually by typing a command like *** `patch -p1 < p/diffs/gcc-<version>.diff' and patching possible *** rejects by hand before you run configure again.) ***
So I downloaded the .diff files from gcc ftp
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7916747 Oct 22 22:14 gcc-3.2.2-3.2.3.diff -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 84108856 Oct 22 22:10 gcc-3.2.3-3.3.diff -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1222880 Oct 22 22:01 gcc-3.3.1-3.3.2.diff -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 16818189 Oct 22 22:04 gcc-3.3-3.3.1.diff
so here are four of them. And no the things that started to puzzle me:
Currently my gcc is 3.2.2 and the gcc I am trying to compile is 3.3.2. The last supported gcc (by ./configure) is 3.3 so do I need to start applying the patches from the 3.2.2-3.2.3 and so on (all those 4 patches in logical order) or is it done somehow differently?
Doesn't applying the patches break my current gcc as it is needed later with the same compiling?
the ./configure line is ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --enable-languages=c,c++,ada,f77,objc,java, pascal --with-system-zlib --enable-__cxa_atexit
My machine is Linux serenity 2.4.20-8 #1 Thu Mar 13 16:42:56 EST 2003 i586 i586 i386 GNU/Linux (300mhz AMD K6-2)
I am using
gpc-20030830.tar.gz http://www.gnu-pascal.de/alpha/gpc-20030830.tar.gz (downloaded 22.10.03 from gnu-pascal.de)
All ideas and links appreciated.
Thank You in advance, Oliver

You only need to add the included "gcc-3.3.2.diff" file to the gcc/p/diffs folder, the rest is done automatically by the configure scripts.

No, the patches are conditionalized (and building gpc also will give you a gcc compiler).

Look carefully at the message. It says you to use a patch provided with gpc. gcc-3.3.2 was released after gpc-20030830, so gpc does not know about your gcc, however the patch for gcc-3.3 should work OK (you should get 1 rejected hunk, but that is harmless). So, in the gcc directory you should do patch -p1 < p/diffs/gcc-3.3.diff
You do not need patches from gcc site (the patches from gcc site are to update older gcc to a newer one, you already have newest gcc).

That looks OK.
