Trying to link gpc to XView - crtbegin.o No such file or directory
by Chris Hicks 28 Dec '05

28 Dec '05

Thanks for your reply Chief. The command: gpc -print-file-name=crtbegin.o gives: crtbegin.o I also decided to go back to basics. You helped me do some C to Pascal, Pascal to C examples a couple of years ago (http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/chris.hicks/programming.htm). These all worked at the time. When I get these sorted I will go back to the XView problem. I tried one of the Pascal calls C programs that passes a string and that failed with the same error message: $ make gpc -o pcallc pcallc.p ccall.o --cstrings-as-strings /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: crtbegin.o: No such file: No such file or directory make: *** [pcallc] Error 1 Which version of Pascal would you recommend? I looked at http://www.gnu-pascal.de/binary/cygwin/ and found the most recent one in binary is gpc-20041017, based on gcc-3.3.3. gcc -v on my installation gives: $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/specs Configured with: /gcc/gcc-3.4.4/gcc-3.4.4-1/configure --verbose --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,d,f77,java,objc --enable-nls --without-included-gettext --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --without-x --enable-libgcj --disable-java-awt --with-system-zlib --enable-interpreter --disable-libgcj-debug --enable-threads=posix --enable-java-gc=boehm --disable-win32-registry --enable-sjlj-exceptions --enable-hash-synchronization --enable-libstdcxx-debug : (reconfigured) Thread model: posix gcc version 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125) Is gpc compatible with the 3.4.4? Thanks again for your help. Chris.

Trying to link gpc to XView - crtbegin.o No such file or directory
by Chris Hicks 28 Dec '05

Hi, I have just reinstalled Cygwin which comes with gpc version 20040516, based upon gcc-3.3.3. The gcc version is 3.4.4. I am assuning that there are OK, because they were provided as binaries that were bundled in the Cygwin install. I have installed XView ( from xview-3.2p1.4-18c-cygwin.tar.bz2, from http://www.physionet.org/physiotools/xview/) and am trying to write a small example program to illustrate linking a Pascal program to XView. I attach my files (p.p, x_message.c and my Makefile). When I do a make I get the error message: $ make gpc -o test p.p x_message.o -I /usr/openwin/library -Lxview -LX11 p.p:6: warning: missing string capacity -- assuming 255 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: crtbegin.o: No such file: No such file or directory make: *** [test] Error 1 I would be grateful for some help with this. Many thanks (and a happy New Year), Chris.

gpc on mac
by Tom Schneider 28 Dec '05

Adriaan: I downloaded from http://www.microbizz.nl/gpc.html GNU Pascal 3.4.5u2 installer for Mac OS X 10.4 PowerPC (PowerPC native and Intel cross compiler) (16.4 MB) to my Max OSX version 10.4.3 Power PC G4 It unpackaged ok and I have now /Developer/Pascal/ Then I went to /tmp and made: program tboy(output); begin writeln(output,'go to sleep!!'); end. I tried this: /Developer/Pascal/gpc345u2/bin/gpc test.p and got: [bluebird:~/now/t] tds% /Developer/Pascal/gpc345u2/bin/gpc test.p /usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lSystemStubs collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Then /Developer/Pascal/gpc345u2/bin/gp test.p and got [bluebird:~/now/t] tds% /Developer/Pascal/gpc345u2/bin/gp test.p /usr/bin/ld: can't locate file for: -lSystemStubs collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Hmm. I could not locate simple examples of how to run the compiler. A small example test directory would help. Oh, also, the ReadMe.rtf that came in the package is not the same as /Developer/Pascal/README.rtf which is confusing. Regards, Tom Dr. Thomas D.

Delphi compat
by Prof A Olowofoyeku (The African Chief) 27 Dec '05

27 Dec '05

Hi The new Delphi 2006 is reported to have a new feature - records with methods - e.g., type TBlock = record procedure Foo(I: Integer); function Bar: TBlock; private Data: Integer; public property Color: Integer end; It also has something called static fields (for Classes), declared with "class var" (e.g., "class var foo : integer"). These are fields that belong to the type, rather than to any of its instances. I am not sure why either of these new features is necessary or useful, but perhaps they should be borne in mind with respect to Delphi compatibility (or perhaps not). Best regards, The Chief -------- Prof. Abimbola A. Olowofoyeku (The African Chief) web: http://www.greatchief.plus.com/

Files with unrecognized extension are passed to the linker (which then complains about magic number). So either rename the input files to use .pas or .p extension or add explicit option: gpc -x Pascal --classic-pascal CONF001.PAS should work. -- Waldek Hebisch hebisch(a)math.uni.wroc.pl

Validation status of GNU Pascal
by Brian Wichmann 22 Dec '05

22 Dec '05

Dear developers: I have a copy of the validation suite for Pascal written years ago by Arthur Sale and myself. Has this been run on GNU Pascal? If not, I would be happy to do this. Brian Wichmann ex-convenor (ISO) for Pascal

The 2006 PGD Annual Game Programming Competition
by Dominique Louis 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

Hi all, That time of year is coming up again. It is soon time for Pascal Game Development's annual competition and with that, I am pleased to announce that on Jan 15th, 2006 the 2006 PGD Annual Game Programming Competition shall commence! The competition rules shall be released on the morning(GMT) before the start of the competition. We will be allowing teams or individuals much like we did last year. Releasing your source will be optional however you will be required to submit a packaged executable with all game files for the targeted platform(s) supported. Prizes, judges, rules and all further needed information will be posted within a weeks time before the start date of competition. For now, I suggest gathering your teams, tools and ideas for Jan 15th. Contest will be running for a total of 16 weeks, ending on the May 7th where we will award the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners with their prizes. We will also be honouring those in the competition that show great ability in specific areas of development. We have high hopes for a fun competition and it should be a very successful event for 2006. Stay posted for further information as it comes. This year's excellent winning entries and prizes can be viewed @ http://www.pascalgamedevelopment.com/competitions/PGDCompetition2005.html We look forward to seeing you or vistors from your site there. Dominique.

Read and Write from/to eg. /dev/ttySx
by M. Uhle sen. 20 Dec '05

20 Dec '05

My problem: I want to open a serial device in a GP-Program to read and write to it in changing order. I look for a way that allowes to do (non blocking) read AND write to one single file-variable assigned to eg /dev/ttySx. So far I have found the "CanRead-function" in the manual which serves perfect for the non blocking job! But still I have to use two file-variables, one opened with reset, one opened with rewrite, and both symbolically linked to the desired serial file eg. /dev/ttySx. And it works, reading from the first when "CanRead" is true and writing to the latter whenever it is necessary. Having read almost all portions of the GNU Pascal Manual nevertheless could not find a solution to use only one file-variable. What is behind it? I do have an awful lot of programs from old TP3-times doing exactly that using "aux" and a home made "CanRead" equivalent. I dare to ask and will even be full of thanks if I get just the answer "rtfm, THERE" Thanks to all who keep the GPC working, Mathias Uhle PS.: To keep this mail short I just add: a wonderful Compiler, great! -- Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing.
