Adriaan,

Thank you for the Mac OS X update.

However, I'm having problems using it.

I have upgraded from gpc332d1 to gpc343d6, upgraded GPC Interfaces to 1.07 (from D to E) from the microbizz site. I did not take the cctools as I reasoned that I have the most up-to-date version already from Apple (November 2004 gcc 3.3 Updater).

Trying to compile my simple Hello World program I get...

[mirror-doors:~/src/pascal/hello] steven% gpc hello.pas /usr/bin/ld: /Developer/Pascal/gpc343d6/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin7/3.4.3/ libgpc.a(error.o) r_type field of relocation entry 709 in section (__TEXT,__text) invalid /usr/bin/ld: /Developer/Pascal/gpc343d6/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin7/3.4.3/ libgpc.a(error.o) stray relocation PPC_RELOC_PAIR entry (710) in section (__TEXT,__text) /usr/bin/ld: /Developer/Pascal/gpc343d6/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin7/3.4.3/ libgpc.a(error.o) r_type field of relocation entry 711 in section (__TEXT,__text) invalid /usr/bin/ld: /Developer/Pascal/gpc343d6/lib/gcc/powerpc-apple-darwin7/3.4.3/ libgpc.a(error.o) stray relocation PPC_RELOC_PAIR entry (712) in section (__TEXT,__text)

[...snip... another 300 lines or so...]

What am I doing wrong?

Is this because the cctools on microbizz are actually newer than the official Apple release (i.e. not-pre-release). If so what do these newer tools do for me? I was reluctant to upgrade as Pascal is only a small part of my compiling work and I could find no release notes or mention of this update on the Apple Developer Connect site. Also, if these tools are from XCode 2.0 pre-release, will they break my XCode v1.5 installation?

More info:

Max OSX 10.3.8

XCode Tools v1.5

[mirror-doors:~/src/pascal/hello] steven% ld -v Apple Computer, Inc. version cctools-525.1.obj~8

hello.pas contains program hello; var i : integer; begin for i := 1 to 5 do writeln('Hello, World!'); end.

Regards, Steven
