Greetings,
Having upgraded to Fedora 15 I'd like to install gpc again, but I don't know where to look for the latest version. I have found a source for gpc-20070904 but I haven't yet managed to compile it. (Is that the latest version?)
I suppose that by now the language must have lost most of its users, but I still, occasionally, write some Pascal code, and would like to be able to compile it.
Thanks for any advice,
John Ollason

gpc-20070904 is the latest release. There is development version at:
https://github.com/hebisch/gpc
however it less tested.
What problems do you have with compilation? I have not tested on Fedora 15 and there may be genuinly new problem there, but if you follow instructions then gpc-20070904 builds on lot of Linux variants. If you do not follow instructins, then there is a lot of possible problems. Without further information like:
exact command you used to configure and build error messages from gpc compilation
it is impossible to say where is the problem.

Thank you for your reply, Waldek. I followed the instructions that you kindly provided me with when I had difficulties previously (Wed Dec 9 14:03:25 CET 2009). The distribution is Fedora 15 for x86_64. (I am aware that I could well have misunderstood the instructions so I have been very prolix in describing what I did.)
I found copies of
gpc-20070904 and gcc-3.4.6
at http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/Index.html
I put them into /usr/local/src and
#bunzip2 gpc . . .bz2 #tar xvf gpc . . .tar #bunzip2 gcc . . .bz2 #tar xvf gcc. . .tar #mv gpc-20070904/p gcc-3.4.6/gcc #mkdir gpc-build #cd gpc-build #/usr/local/src/gcc-3.4.6/configure --enable-languages=pascal --prefix=/usr/gnu --disable-multilib &>temp #cat temp . . . checking for windres... windres checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no updating cache ./config.cache creating ./config.status creating Makefile #make bootstrap &>temp #tail temp done if [ -f stmp-dirs ]; then true; else touch stmp-dirs; fi make[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpc-build/gcc' echo timestamp > stmp-multilib make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpc-build/gcc' echo timestamp > stage3_build echo stage3_build > stage_last make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpc-build/gcc' make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpc-build/gcc' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpc-build' #gpc --version bash: gpc: command not found... # I thought that it might have been a path problem, but there is no file, gpc, on the system.
I have been through the same procedure with gcc-3.4.4 with the same result. I hope that my problem is simply due to my making some silly mistake.
Thanks, in advance for any advice.

In case anybody else might have my problem I am confessing my silly mistake. Everything was fine. Waldek Hebisch suggested that I had forgotten the final
#make install
which I had.
If anybody else wants to install GPC on Fedora 15, the instructions above should suffice even for complete idiots like me.
Thanks, everybody, for your help.

Silly me, I should have thought of me myself.

Dear John,
It looks like you were able to compile GPC using the instructions at our page here:
http://alignment.hep.brandeis.edu/Software/Pascal/Index.html
Did you try installing the binary we provide? If so, how did the install fail on Fedora?
Yours, Kevan
