Hi,
does anyone know who wrote the gpc-port for FreeBSD? There are two small bugs in it, which (I believe) can easily be corrected by someone, who knows how to. But they should be fixed, because they might keep people off using gpc.
Thanks for your answer!
Uli.

Last November Marc van Woerkom van.woerkom@netcologne.de posted here saying he was working on a FreeBSD port, so maybe it's by him, but I don't know for sure. (Where did you find the port, BTW?)

If you can't find the author, please post the bug reports (and possibly fixes) here. Maybe some other FreeBSD user reads this and can do the fixes...

You will find the port on any freebsd-mirror, for example ftp4.de.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports I run gpc on FreeBSD 4.1 Release.

O.K, I will try to explain: usually you install a port by ( 0) opening an internet-connection if you do not have all sources) 1) changing into the port-directory and 2) typing # make && make install
And here the bugs: a) gpc needs linux-base to run (this is a linux emulation). If this is already installed, you have to deinstall it before you run the gpc-port b) Step 2 produces some sort of error. You will have to type # make deinstall and then again # make install Then everything will work out fine. Of course I do not have the least idea, what is the reason of this.
Anyway I am quite happy to have a GPL'ed PASCAL-compiler. I am "testing" it with some programming lecture at "fernuni-hagen" .
Cheers
Uli.

Sorry. It worked on my box, but I never found time to cast it into a port, working together with the moving gcc ports..
The ports makefile indicates to talk to these two folks:

I didn't find it there. In which subdirectory is it? (I'm not familiar with the FreeBSD directory structure.)

Do you happen to know why it isn't compiled as a native version?
b) Step 2 produces some sort of error. You will have to type # make deinstall and then again # make install Then everything will work out fine.
Which error exactly?
