GPC: Win32 API import units
by Dr A Olowofoyeku 17 Mar '00

17 Mar '00

Hi all You can get the latest version of my ongoing work of translating the GCC WinAPI headers to GPC import units from agnes (in the directory: ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/chief/). The sources (messages.pas, wintypes.pas and winprocs.pas) are in: ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/chief/winapi-src.zip The precompiled units are in: ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/chief/winapi-bin.zip. I suggest that you put the precompiled units in your GPC 'units' directory, and keep the sources elsewhere (where they won't be located automatically by the compiler). That way you will get much faster compiles and links (two of the units are quite huge, and until automake is fixed, you don't want GPC to try and compile them all the time). Since the original GCC headers are LGPL, I guess that this makes my Pascal translations LGPL as well. If anyone wishes to help to debug/test/develop/complete these units, please feel free to jump in! I have been working on this for about a year, and it is quite clear that it is way beyond the capacity of one person to complete.

Documentation list
by Peter Gerwinski 17 Mar '00

17 Mar '00

Hello, we now have a separate list for documenting GPC. Everyone who wants to contribute to the GPC documentation project is invited to join. We have splitted this list from the main GPC list because some documentation issues are not of interest for users of GPC. (For instance, spelling wars are off-topic on the ordinary GPC list, but they can be on-topic on the GPC documentation list.:-) The GPC documentation list is <gpc-doc(a)gnu.de>. To subscribe to the list, write a message containing "subscribe gpc-doc" in the body to <majordomo(a)gnu.de>. (The subject will be ignored.)

GPC for Mingw32
by Dr A Olowofoyeku 16 Mar '00

16 Mar '00

Hi all A new snapshot of GPC (Mingw32) has been uploaded to Agnes. This is based on Peter's recent native Mingw32 build (based on gcc 2.95.1). The file is: ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/chief/ gpc-20000202-i586-mingw32.zip If you unzip (with an unzip program that understands long filenames) into 'c:\usr\', reproducing the directory structure in the zip file, you should have a ready-to-run and stable Win32 snapshot of GPC (you just need to add 'c:\usr\local\bin' to the PATH).
