- Greetings All...
-
- I am having some difficulties installing GNU C for VMS (GCC-VMS-1.40d).
- My configuration is comprised of a MicroVAX 3100 running VMS 5.5. Has anyone
- else out there been able to get this running under 5.5? My installation
- steps were as follows:
-
- 1) FTP gcc-vms-1.40d.tar.Z from prep.mit.edu.
- 2) Download to local Mac.
- 3) Uncompress and extract from tar using mac tools.
- 4) Copy directory hierarchy onto the VAX.
- 4) Define GNU_CC and GNU_CC_INCLUDE logicals using ASSIGN/SUPER/SYS.
- 5) Install the GCC command using SET COMMAND.
- 6) Run GCC with test file.
-
- The current problems:
-
- 1) When running GCC, a number of images are loaded. In particular, GCC
- wants SYS$LIBRARY:SMGSHR_00.EXE, MTHRTL_00.EXE, LIBRTL_00.EXE, FORRTL_00.EXE.
- These do not exist on my VAX in this directory, and thus the following
- errors are generated:
-
- %DCL_W_ACTIMAGE, error activating image SMGSHR_00
- -CLI-E-IMAGEFNF, image file not found SYS$DKA300:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]
- SMGSHR_00.EXE
-
- I do have corresponding files without the _00 suffix, and copied them
- into the files that GCC wants to load. After that, however, GCC looks
- for the file "u/P" (with u having an umlaut over it) and fails with
- a syntax error.
-
- Are these the right files, or am I missing some images with _00 suffixes?
- What does this suffix mean?
-
- 2) When running the gcc_install script, the GCC precompiler is called to
- get the current version level. This call fails with the following error:
-
- %DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image GNU_CC:[000000]GCC-CPP
- -CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file SBS$DKB0:[COMMON.GCCDIST.GCC.][000000]GCC-CPP.EXE;1
- -SYSTEM-F-VA_IN_USE, virtual address already in use
-
- The last error is not documented in my copy of the System Messages docs.
- It is new with V 5.5? What does it mean?
-
- Thanks in advance.
-
- Jeff
