According to the Makefile of gpc itself, it depends on more objects than g77 does, and that's why I copy the entire gcc tree or make symbolic link for it. > Does the port replace the system `cc' or just use the system `cc' > sources to produce the pascal compiler?

Certainly just use, and `make clean' will remove everything, and let everything go back to the original, except the chmod'ed files (configure, etc). AFAIK, gpc claims itself as a frontend of gcc, and only work on 2.7.2.1(for gpc-2.0, as 2.6.3 for gpc-1.x). but I believe that it means the files it needs, not the compiler being used to compile it. -- Chia-liang Kao To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
