simple compiling/running problem

[Eric Streit]

Hi,

I just compiled the last gm2 release.

It went well (well, not so simple at first, as there are no simple 
instructions about how to do that), but I find out.

So, it runs perfectly (just tried to compile a simple hello program for 
now), but I got problem when I wanted to execute the resulting a.out

./a.out: error while loading shared libraries: libm2cor.so.18: cannot 
open shared object file: No such file or directory

I added the corresponding path (/usr/local/lib64 to the ld.so.conf 
configuration file).

If I launch : ldd a.out, I get this:


*********
eric@aldebaran:~/Devs/Compilation/Test-Modula2$ ldd a.out
        linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007fff698b0000)

        libm2log.so.18 => not found
        libm2pim.so.18 => not found
        libm2iso.so.18 => not found
        libstdc++.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6

        libm.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0x00007f7021321000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgcc_s.so.1

So here are my questions :

1) how can I launch the resulting a.out program ; something is certainly 
missing. I just tried the first test program from the documentation with 
the correct parameters (as they were given in the documentation)

2) Why are the correct libraries references not set like they are for 
the other non-gm2 libraries?

3) What is about this "a.out" resulting program. Why is it not the name 
of the main module? For a hello.mod -> hello

4) I didn't find test suites for the different dialects implemented in 
gm2: I'm sure they exist, but couldn't find them.

4) When testing some things in the gcc/m2 directory (the README), they 
just don't work. They certainly need update (the make doc line in the 
Readme doesn't work)


Sorry for all of these beginner questions ...


Best regards

Eric
