Subject: GPC alpha 970412 win32 binary (cygwin32 b17.1) available.
Date: 14 Apr 1997, 00:33:42


Hello,

The latest GNU Pascal alpha release is now available for the win32
platform at:

	ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/janjaap/cygwin32/

Files in this directory:

gpc-970412.i486-cygwin32-b17.1.zip
	Apr.12 snapshot binary of cygwin32 GPC. For a cygwin32-beta17.1
	toolchain.

devtools.i486-cygwin32-b17.1.zip
	For those who only want to do Pascal, it's a waist to download a
	complete toolchain from ftp.cygnus.com. This archive has all the
	tools (as, ld, libraries) needed to complete GPC. I also included
	some other tools (rcl etc.) and documentation in .hlp format.
	If you already have cygwin32-beta17.1 installed, you don't need
	this.


Installation
------------

* create a subdirectory of your choice (`c:\gpcwin32') and unzip
  gpc-970412.i486-cygwin32-b17.1.zip and devtools.i486-cygwin32-b17.1.zip
  from there. Use a version of `unzip' that can handle long filenames,
  i.e. not PKunzip.

* Add the directory where `gpc.exe' lives (`c:\gpcwin32\bin') to your
  path.

* Set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=C:\gpcwin32\lib\gcc-lib\
  Beware of the trailing slash!

* Set LIBRARY_PATH=c:\gpcwin32\lib;c:\gpcwin32\i386-cygwin32\lib


Common problems
---------------
These things often give problems:

* Do NOT mix binaries from different beta's -- they are incompatible.

* Be sure to have only one `cygwin.dll' in your path and it must be
  beta17.1

The symptoms of these are crashes, stack/register dumps and Windows
telling you it cannot load a dll.

Read the cygwin32 FAQ (http://www.cygnus.com/ or this directory)
Most of the information also applies for GNU Pascal.

And please, do not bother the people of the cygwin32 mailinglist if you
have problems with GPC, send them to the gpc@hut.fi list instead.

Have fun,

JanJaap <j.j.vanderheijden@student.utwente.nl>

  The nice thing about standards is that there are so many to choose from
