Hi guys, Did somebody have experience to install g77 and gpc together (the newest versions?)? If it is you can you read the set of messages below with me and my system administrator to help us. Yous, Vadim

This was in the FAQ. Still I have: Undefined first referenced symbol in file reg_known_equiv_p ../gcc-2.7.2.2/sched.o read_dependence ../gcc-2.7.2.2/sched.o record_base_value ../gcc-2.7.2.2/loop.o output_dependence ../gcc-2.7.2.2/sched.o true_dependence ../gcc-2.7.2.2/cse.o anti_dependence ../gcc-2.7.2.2/sched.o flag_alias_check ../gcc-2.7.2.2/calls.o reg_known_value ../gcc-2.7.2.2/sched.o init_alias_analysis ../gcc-2.7.2.2/cse.o flag_move_all_movables ../gcc-2.7.2.2/loop.o flag_reduce_all_givs ../gcc-2.7.2.2/loop.o ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to gpc1 *** Error code 1 make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `gpc1'

Most of these are defined in ../gcc-2.7.2.2/alias.o, so linking with that one (which _might_ be dangerous) gives:

Undefined first referenced symbol in file flag_alias_check ../gcc-2.7.2.2/calls.o flag_argument_noalias ../gcc-2.7.2.2/alias.o flag_move_all_movables ../gcc-2.7.2.2/loop.o flag_reduce_all_givs ../gcc-2.7.2.2/loop.o

these I can deal with.

While I am pretty sure I can now produce an executable, you should carefully test it, as I did undocumented things to get it to work.

Apparently, the new version of GPC does not interact well with the Solaris linker/loader. This might be due to the modifications I introduced in order to compile it with G77, though[1].

The error I get while compiling the hello.pas test is: ========================================================================= % gpc test/standard_pascal/hello.pas ld: fatal: file test/standard_pascal/hello.pas: unknown type, unable to process using elf(3E) libraries ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to a.out ========================================================================= So it seems like gpc passes the wrong arguments to ld, something which did not happen with the previous version. Indeed g77 and gcc work perfectly with the Solaris-provided ld. On second thought... it seems like gpc passes everything unchanged to ld, without even attempting to compile anything. Indeed: ========================================================================= % ./gpc -c test/standard_pascal/hello.pas gpc: test/standard_pascal/hello.pas: linker input file unused since linking not done ========================================================================= So I probably messed up the command parser somewhere (see note).

I'd install gpc in a completely separate directory with it's own straightforward version of gcc, but I already tried to do this with the previous version and, alas, g77 was (rather mysteriously) broken. I might real soon now experiment a little with doing this again in my copious free time.

BTW, in the meanwhile I updated GCC/G77 to version 2.7.2.2.f.2 on all machines, and left 2.7.2.1 installed so that the old version of gpc still works. This _seems_ not to cause any problem right now.

[1] This essentially reduces to linking gpc1 with ../gcc-2.7.2.2/alias.o and introducing the G77-specific options in toplev.c. I also had to explicitly #define some constants in a couple of places, though. As I could not be bothered to read and understand the source I obviously don't know what it's going on.
