Maurice,

thanks for the prompt response.

I was just showing an example of the our source files. This whole software is composed on a couple hundred files (about 95% in Pascal, some C, and a couple in assembly). The whole thing is then linked. So there is only one file with the program header. All other source files just contain procedures in Pascal or C functions.

In this particular instance, I am trying to make a program where a C program calls the Pascal routine.

Regards,

Jing

I have installed GPC and GCC on a Solaris 7 x86 platform. We are migrating software from RISC/SPARC Sun OS to x86 Solaris 7.

GPC is version 19991030. based on 2.95 19990728. GCC is 2.95.2.

The GPC Mailing List archive web site has been unreachable. I apologize if the following question has already be addressed in the past.

Problem: GPC will not compile our Pascal source files since they do not have any Program statements.

Sample program:

Procedure hello; begin Writeln ('PASCAL says: Hello, world.'); Writeln (' ') End;

****end of sample program****

When I run GPC (gpc -c filename), I get the following messages: warning: missing program header parse error at end of input

The only way I found to get gpc to compile is by adding: Begin End.

at the end of the source file. I still get the warning message about missing program header but GPC compiles. I would prefer not to do this since we will be using the same source files for the maintenance of the software in both SPARC/RISC and Intel x86 platforms.

What a "program" which contains only the declaration of a procedure is intended to do ? It cannot lead to anything executable ?
