According to Victor Sperber:
I wanted to get Pascal from the GNU. Not being sufficiently knowledgeable to get the source and compile it, I opted for getting the binaries.
In fact you need Linux to compile GPC for Windows 95/NT ...
I read the GNU Pascal FAQS and brought over cygwin32 beta16 (and later 17) and expanded them in order to run Pascal under Windows95. However on running gpc.exe I get "a required DLL file CYGWIN.DLL was not found". This is the case on the 16 and 17 packages. Is there something I need to do to get Pascal to run apart from executing it?
I am not an expert for Windows issues, but you might find relevant files and additional information at ftp://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/home/janjaap/cygwin32/
I have searched my disk and it is true that there is no such DLL. Should it come with binaries in the package, or do I have to get it from somewhere else?
You can get it from http://www.cygnus.com/ Make sure that the CygWin beta version number matches that one specified in the GPC distribution because different versions are completely incompatible. (* If everything else fails, you can use the DOS (DJGPP or EMX) version of GPC in your Windows DOS box; see the GPC home page http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/ for more information. *) Hope this helps, Peter -- Peter Gerwinski, Essen, Germany, free physicist and programmer Maintainer GNU Pascal - http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/ - 1 Oct 1997 PGP key fingerprint: AC 6C 94 45 BE 28 A4 96 0E CC E9 12 47 25 82 75 Fight the SPAM! - http://maps.vix.com/
