Bugzilla Bug 154116

I unmasked gpc 20051104 for me on ppc and tried to build it (the new version,
without dependencies). The build ends fine.
Unfortunately some path is not set correctly and the gpcpp precompiler could
not be found.

I looked for it and found it in:

/usr/libexec/gpc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4/gpcpp

temporarily adding
/usr/libexec/gpc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4/

to my PATH variable yelded a working pascal compiler, I could successfully
build and execute the program I needed.
Maybe this small problem can be fixed in the ebuild and the package can be
unmasked, at least for ~ppc ?

also happens on x86 -- looks like an easy fix, though ... just add a link to
gpcpp in /usr/bin

Yeah ... after the install, if you do the following:

ln -s /usr/libexec/gpc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/gpcpp /usr/bin/
ln -s /usr/libexec/gpc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/gpc1 /usr/bin/
ln -s /usr/libexec/gpc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4/collect2 /usr/bin/

stuff works. I think you need all three; I had to do the first two to get a
compile to go, and I did the third because it looked like the right thing to
do. :)

Added ~ppc.

Reassigning to lang-misc.

gpc installs a file /etc/env.d/56gpc which should make sure your PATH gets set
correctly. Did you make sure to log out and in again, or to run `source
/etc/profile`? If you did, and it still didn't work, would you please attach
that file?

Get back to us please...
