Re: Compiling GCC under Irix 6.5 - Gpc

25 Jul 2000


      I am still trying to build the gpc-20000719 / gcc-2.95.2 suite on 
top of Irix 6.5.
Following Frank Heckenbach advice to replace  BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN by 0 
in line 64 of stor-layout.c, the compilation process has progressed 
but is again stopped many steps further by the following error:
---
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/people/ottorini/pascal/gpc-build/gcc/p/rts'
../.././xgpc -B../.././  -c -I. -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith           \

----
Function `Memcompcase' reads:
function MemCompCase (const s1, s2; Size : SizeType) : Boolean;
var
   i : Integer;
   a1 : array [1 .. Size] of Char absolute s1;
   a2 : array [1 .. Size] of Char absolute s2;
begin
   for i := 1 to Size do
     if (a1 [i] <> a2 [i]) and (LoCase (a1 [i]) <> LoCase (a2 [i])) then
       return False;
   MemCompCase := True
end;
Personnally, I cannot see what is harmful here (the problem persists 
after consistently replacing BYTES_BIG_ENDIAN by 0 in dwarf2out.c)
I would be grateful to know whether someone has faced this this 
problem and has got a workaround.
