Hello!

According to Rod Evans:

If anyone can help with this, would you please email me direct since I'm not subscribed to the mailing list.

The problem: general linker problems in gpc 2.0. eg. gpc -v -o fibonacci fibonacci.pas Reading specs from /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1/2.7.2.1/specs gcc version 2.0(2.7.2.1) [...]

This looks as if your `gcc.c' were not patched for GPC but the original GCC version. Thus your `gpc' does not recognize the extension `.pas' as Pascal source but takes it as linker input.

1. The first 'make' had a VPATH problem which caused it to fail for target

gpc1; following the FAQ, I removed those '.o' files from the gcc object directory. I then got a clean make.

Maybe still something went wrong with this - at least for the `gpc' driver program, not for the actual compiler `gpc1'.

To solve the problem, recompile `gcc.c' to `gcc.o' and watch whether the `-DGPC' switch is given.

For a general solution to the VPATH problem it might help to upgrade to a recent beta version of GPC; see
