Re: [Seed7-users] GDB messages from installation abort

[Simon D. <sim...@ao...>]

 Thomas,
I was incorrect when I said that I didn't have GCC installed. There were two subdirectories under msys64 (from MSYS2) that had a gcc.exe (which I wasn't using). But they were not in the PATH variable. There was also one (GCC version 2.95) under the Free Pascal directory FPC that was in PATH . I tried the new installation file before realizing there was gcc.exe under FPC. It worked. Then I deleted the Seed7 directory and did another installation with the gcc.exe renamed to tempgcc.exe and it also worked. Thanks for the update!

 Hi Simon,

Having gcc installed is NOT a per-requirement.

The Seed7 installer installs its own  gcc in the seed7/gcc directory.
The Seed7 installer seed7_05_20231217_win.exe failed to do exactly that.
The line
'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
shows that the installation of gcc failed.

When I tested the installer on my Windows-11 computer it succeeded, because
it used the already installed gcc instead.

I created a new installer seed7_05_20240630_win.exe which can be downloaded from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/seed7/files/bin

This installer should be capable to install gcc in seed7/gcc

I am interested to know if seed7_05_20240630_win.exe works successfully on your computer.

Hopefully you did not already install gcc yourself.
I am interested to know if seed7_05_20240630_win.exe works without an already installed gcc.

Besides this test you can install a gcc later.
The gcc from Seed7 will not affect the other gcc and vice versa.

Regards
Thomas
