[Gm2] Modula-2 cross compiler for ARM available as Debian package

[Gaius Mulley]

Hi,

If anyone is interested in having a GNU Modula-2 cross compiler
targeting the ARM - packages now exist for ppc64 (ps3), i386 and
amd64 versions of Debian etch.

All you need do is add these lines to the end of your
/etc/apt/sources.list


-------
#
#  GNU Modula-2 repo
#


deb http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
deb-src http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/debian/ etch main non-free contrib
-------

and as root

# apt-get update
# apt-get install gm2-arm

This will install the GNU Modula-2 compiler and also the GNU C
Compiler.  (It will also install dependencies such as binutils-arm and
various libraries and the limited GNU Modula-2 documentation).  The
compilers can be invoked by:

$ arm-linux-gnu-gm2

regards,
Gaius
